[Quote=CNN.com] (CNN) -- A 6.4-magnitude earthquake jolted southern Taiwan on Thursday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths but some damage has occurred to buildings and major bridges, and power was cut off near the epicenter.
The quake struck at about 8:20 a.m. (7:20 p.m. Wednesday ET) in a mountainous region about 25 miles northwest of Taitung, on the southeast coast, and 40 miles east of Tainan and Kaohsiung on the southwest coast.
The region, which includes Maolin National Scenic Area, is recovering from a direct hit by Typhoon Morakot that killed hundreds in August. The typhoon dumped more than two feet of rain, causing serious mudslides in the south, including one that buried the village of Shiao Lin under 50 feet of mud.
Thursday's quake was followed by several aftershocks, the largest reaching 4.8. The initial 6.4 quake rumbled to the surface from 14 miles deep. Were you there? Did you feel it? [/quote]

Maybe earth is just warming up for 2012. :tinfoil:

Fuck me, the Earths getting super pissed at us.
Either that, or a super-intelligent and nefarious legion of monsters are about to burst out from the earths crust and consume us all.
If it does happen, I godamn called it.
Anyone place a bet for another earthquake anytime soon?

:ohdear:
the earth's all "get these things off me"
This sucks.
Pretty worrying, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Maybe Gabe Newell just let one rip
Looks like some sort of underground super volcano is about to erupt.
I'll call the X-men.
Don't worry, guys, Blizzard just started beta testing Cataclysm.
Plate tectonics fucking this shit up.
Fact is there are actually thousands of earthquakes that occur every year, its just that most of them are usually too far down the Richter scale to be felt.
An earthquake of this magnitude happens on average every 3 days.
But yes 2012 and all that.
its the mole people.
Wow, this blows.
haarp.
This is ovisally a big stunt by Blizzard to show off catalysim...
Boy its gonna piss a few million off
Everyone's bitching, and sure, it's worrying, but... the alternative isn't exactly preferable.
We can have a geologically active planet that has a few rather large earthquakes for a while, or a geologically dead planet that will soon be stripped of its atmosphere and all life will be killed by harsh, uncaring solar radiation.
I think we should probably just deal with the earthquakes.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent seismic activity at Yellowstone.

[b]This just in[/b]: Half Life Episode 3 delayed until 2014
You guys DO know that this always happens, and since the earthquake in Haiti people have just felt the need to inform us of any earthquake in the world above 6 in the richter's scale.
Nothing is happening.
Seriously getting out of hand.
