For the past few days I have hearing news of earthquakes close to Sri Lanka , tremors in Tissamaharama and the recent earthquake in the Indian Ocean has been felt by some of my colleagues have felt it too. I have never felt anything yet though. Anyway today as soon as bought the Daily Mirror (July 27th 2007) my eyes caught the bottom of the froont page giving a picture of the seismic forces on the plates on which Sri Lanka is situated.
So according to it and other articles that have appeared in the newspapers, it seems that Sri Lanka may be in for the “Big One“.
This is not at all good since our country is ill prepared for a natural disaster such as an earthquake (all right we are ill prepared for all types of natural disasters). I wonder whether when the engineers who designed bridges, high rise buildings, etc would have taken an earthquake into consideration because if they did not then I am sure any one of us would not like to be close to these when an earthquake strikes.
Coming to think of it I wonder whether this has anything to do with the prophesy that I posted sometime back(links are given below). It is not clear what type of disaster this prophesy predicted, at a glance it looks like a volcano (which I think is highly unlikely) but most of what it says is symbolic. Maybe the prophesy predicted an earthquake or maybe not, but what is important is that a natural disaster was predicted.
Coming back to the earthquake since there is no way of exactly predicting when one will strike added to that Sri Lanka lacks seismic monitors in the areas where the tremors are being felt, we are sitting duck until one hits us and probably the US or Indian Geological Centers would have to give us the magnitude of the earthquake that we were hit with.

Can’t you check with the lady on when the big one will strike? While you’re at it can you ask her about California as well? Everyone here has been expecting the Big One (and out here that means the REALLY BIG ONE) for awhile now…would be nice to get a heads up, a couple of days is enough really.

So what exactly causes all this. Does God have a bad tummy or something? Can’t the old codger go and take a shit in the toilet instead of farting all around and creating earthquakes? I would still like to get my dick divinely sucked by Jesus. I heard he’s quite the master craftsman when it comes to polishing hardwood.

It would be really appreciated if you would respect a person’s religious beliefs. If you do not believe in this then it is your wish and I respect that.

Don’t take it personally jesusfreak. I’m an anti-religious atheist. If there is going to be a war between Islam and Christianity, I’d actually be on your side.
I don’t respect anyone’s religious beliefs. Religion is for fuckwits and this is the only way to deal with fuckwits.

I’m the editor for a new magazine that we hope to publish in September. For one of the articles in our magazine, we are featuring several Sri Lankan blogs and your blog is amongst those. We would like to include a few screenshots of the blogs in question to illustrate the article and would like to have a screenshot of your blog as well. Do we have your permission to use a screenshot of your blog in our magazine? (Please respond to me via e-mail since I might not be back here in time to see your response). Thanks!
