New Bearflagger "The Lopsided Poopdeck" has this on the most recent deadly Iranian quake:
Iran asks "why are our quakes so deadly?" Here's a hint: you have tons of "moral police" who make sure boys and girls don't hold hands in the street (not to mention homosexual behavior certainly isn't allowed), and they make sure that girls wear scarfs so that their hair doesn't show, but you don't have the same number of people who go around making sure buildings are built properly.And other reasons. Mostly related to cranial-rectal inversion in the leading circles. Posted by Kevin Murphy at January 1, 2004 09:57 PM | TrackBack
