Earthquakes are very overrated as a danger. http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds_dying.jpg You have a better chance of being struck by lightning, getting the electric chair, fatal bee sting, dying of heat stroke, drinking yourself to death, being electrocuted, shot (accidentally), plane crash, bicycle, fire, motorcycle, drowning, being run over while walking, shot (on purpose), falling, suicide, car crash, stroke, cancer or heart disease. In fact, floods and fireworks are safer than earthquakes. Truth is, out here in the west, the gun slingers are more likely to get you, ma'am. Or you might die from complications after plastic surgery... You DO know that all Californians are required to have plastic surgery right? Food poisoning from the pink tofu is another possibility... Any other myths about SoCal I need to comment on? --- James. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
