With all due respect to those who compiled it, it is hard to see how
the accuracy can be maintained so evenly. But then it is probably
similar to my efforts, no more than a rule of thumb.

Nope. Not a rule of thumb. It's all in the formula just above that
chart...

You are an idiot.

Gosh. What a deep and profound statement. I hope you didn't
hurt your brain cell coming up with that remark.

Of course, one cannot hurt what one does not have. So I guess
that means you can't hurt yourself thinking.

Why do you even bother replying to me if you are no better than I?

There is a season of large quakes running at the moment, after what
has been a dearth of them. The two Japanese ones occurred
coincidentally when there was a typhoon that reached past Japan's
record books, the others are all a matter of those interesting degrees
apart from either that storm or one running in the area of Hawaii and
you think I am the fool?

They seem to circle them like some sort of a gyre if you are
interested.

That scale runs ad indefinitum with a regular increase of 2, 4, 6, 8
and you sit down with your cheesy mathematics as though it has
explained something to you of great significance.

Weather models are impossibly complex and require the finesse of
experts with decades of training, people culled from the best science
classes straight from scholl and even then can't do much better than
give a rough estimate for all the tickling the runs get.

Vulcanology as a science doesn't even exist. It is like the priest-
craft of the dark ages masquerading as Christianity. People are still
poking mountains with sticks as in biblical times and they are the
best we have.

No-one is even working on a method to explain tides and you sit there
telling me I don't think?

Put me back in you kill filters please, oh brilliant one. I am not
worthy. Either that or pull your finger out,

fool!
