As we already mentioned on our Twitter and Facebook, yesterday was Boobquake 2010. For those who missed out on this very important occasion, it was in response to comments made by an Iranian cleric who said that promiscuous women who wore revealing clothes were responsible for the increase in earthquakes (see my original post about this here). Purdue student Jennifer McCreight and other women took it upon themselves to protest the cleric’s statement and put his theory to the test by flaunting their, well, boobs to see if it would indeed affect seismic activity.
By some estimates, over 200,000 women around the globe participated in Boobquake related activities and protests (though sadly, no one I know). And the results?
“According to the United States Geological Survey website there were 45 earthquakes worldwide as of Monday evening, including a 6.5-magnitude earthquake southeast of Taiwan and a 5.4 near the South Sandwich Islands region. In fact, over the last six days the number of earthquakes has ranged from 41 to 48.
According to the website, on Sunday, April 25, there were 45 earthquakes, including a 5.7 near the South Sandwich Islands Region, and a 5.0 in Tonga. On Saturday, there were 38 earthquakes, and on Friday there were 45.”
In other words, all that cleavage really had zero impact on the number of earthquakes. However, if any of our more…uh…well-endowed readers would like to try this experiment for themselves just to be sure, I’m there to support you in anyway. Anything in the name of scientific research is my motto.
True scholars and persons (men, especially) of science would demand that this experiment be replicated on a daily basis in order to validate prior results and to collect additional data for further analysis. Heh, heh….
Actually it IS planned to happen again. We need more research to support our hypothesis.
this should be a national holiday
This should be expanded to include Boobnamis.
Don’t forget HOOTERCANES!
Now if the gays would stop being gay we wouldn’t have floods (according to Pat Robertson).
[...] Ben Affleck’s house. Oh, and let’s not forget the Iranian cleric who last year proclaimed that earthquakes were the result of immoral women and their boobs. [...]
