QUAKE SPATE

Haiti, Chile, China, not to mention Japan, Indonesia, Mexico and The Soloman Islands all registering over 7 on the Richter Scale.

Earth has it in for us right now.

She’s one upset mamma.

It could be morning sickness as first reported here (THE WORLD IS HAVING A BABY – JAN 4TH 2010).

Or, it could be penance for the way we’ve treated her, a geological form of self-harm.

But I believe there is a third and more rational reason behind this sudden spate of earthquakes.

The trouble is I can’t tell you.

Or she kills me.

And I don’t fancy martyrdom quite yet.
