There was a Iranian Cleric who said that earthquakes are caused by feminine immodesty. So a scientist named Jen McCreight, decided she'd test this theory scientifically, and got a lot of women to show off some cleavage on Monday, Apr 26.

She wanted to show what nonsense this religion was all about, just oppressing women like they do. But what happened was this, Boobquakes! These are counted as above 5.0 and these are all the ones being caused in 24 hours after:

1. 6.5 Tawaiin
2. 5.4 South Sandwich Islands
3. 5.1 South Sandwich Islands
4. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2010vnck.php

So what's the conclusion with this lung protector experiment - did it help science or religion?

I have to fix some of the links since it looks like some of them didn't get in to the right spots:

Here's the link to the boobquake report.

Here's number 4 on the list of quakes:

4. Japan

I think this requires further testing...Yes a bunch of hot women getting together and going topless definably requires we run this test a few times to be sure of our results....

i know when i heard about the earthquakes on monday i was shocked. i can imagine that preist shouting at the top of his lungs "I TOLD YOU SOOO!!!"

but i think this would be worth testing but it would be weird if it was true

Much better breakdown of the statistics. As in "There are actually statistics."

I think we should repeat this event for *cough* scientific study... many, many times. All over the world.

I think this "experiment" leads to several traffic accidents world wide, and because your car is parked, it puts stress on the plate tectonics....

Further Analysis is required.

Boobs dictate the world...

@AnaLoGMunKy As much as I hate to admit it, your right. She only collected a n=1 and I think scientists use 3 n's before they make conclusions. So maybe she's wrong to draw conclusions so early?

Another thing is this. Her graph showing less than 50 boobquakes, and she said, "There were 47 earthquakes on the 26th, which falls well within the 95% confidence interval for number of earthquakes (about 0 to 148)." But I counted a lot more than that. There were like 120 earthquakes in the USA alone just using her source.

Source for Boobquake Blog

* M1+ USA earthquake list
* M3+ USA earthquake list
* M2.5/4.5+ worldwide earthquake list
* M5+ worldwide earthquake list

Mysterious. Why would she want to hide the truth about how many earthquakes were actually caused on 4/26? It's no wonder why people listen to their clerics, scientists make stuff up!

The world must have been one hell of a place before people started wearing animal hides.

Hmmm . . . more testing. Lots more. I think all news programs should air a special focused on the outcome of the experiment . . . it's important news . . . live footage is important too, so we can see how the experiment procedure goes down . . . .

Anyway, fer srs, earthquakes above 5.0 happen all the time. Earthquakes at 6.0 happen like once a month, and 5.0s are relatively common. It was probably just a coincidence . . . but then again, you can never be sure *cough*

I'd love to quake some boobs right now.

On a serious note: Those religious nut jobs are not to be taken seriously.

sorry. being a guy full of raging hormones, I saw the word "boob" and came here. I am actually not going to contribute anything at all but just to say. WOW that is either some crazy coincidence, or there exists a god.

This kind of stupidity makes me sad. Are they all sexist and/or extreme feminist.

I think this calls for a boob song...
A song about boobs... the titty ditty

I wonder how many boobquakes this song caused?

On a serious note earthquakes are constantly happening, many over 5.0 magnitude.
I seriously doubt there is a connection, and the cleric has some pretty crazy ideas.

But like said, I think the study would benefit from more tests...
