Brace Yourself for the Boobquake!

[Sonofadiddly]

I'm all for female AND male modesty, but saying that there is a correlation between boobs and earthquakes makes me want to go buy a tube top out of pure spite for such ignorance.

Suck it, Sedighi!

 

[Legion]

Anyone else half-hoping that by some freak coincidence, earthquake levels sky rocket today just to hear the clerics' response?

I had a good laugh at this, as it is proof n-one in the Western world cares about religion. We've all become Egoists.

Denouncing religion doesn't automatically make you self centred. It's not like the faithful have the monopoly on charity and good will, just as they are not the sole cause of evil.

Not forgetting that the way women dress is actually not a part of Islam either. The same way Christians don't have to wear a cross.

A pointless endeavor. Everyone knows Earthquakes are caused by NASA.

Oh? How do they do it?

They use the Space Shuttle

 

[Gigaguy64]

If Skin was really the cause of Earthquakes then California and Las Vegas would have sunken into the earth a long time ago.

tis true... however... the crusades

 

[matrix3509]

What is this, I don't even

The dude is clearly a few sandwiches short of a picnic; how the fuck does sex cause earthquakes? And how does switching religions stop earthquakes? Because of course primarily Islamic countries like Iran don't ever get earthquakes.

I was honestly expecting something corny, yet hilarious. I guess I got that, but not as I was expecting.

*MASSIVE SARCASM BLINKERS*

For the Iranians, its all those hedonistic women that dare show their ankles or wrists like some American whore. When you combine that with all those insolent women who will actually dare venture outside without a male guardian (such insolence!), its no surprise Iran gets many earthquakes. Clearly the only solution is to retreat further into Islam and to enforce rules that are not only not mentioned anywhere within any religious text, but that we made up for the express purpose of keeping our society in the dark ages.

awwwwwwwwww man, I was expecting a bad troll

those thing make me laugh out of pity

You got one, that cleric is nothing but a troll. Using something as stupid as his assertions is just another example of escapegoatism.
I fully endorse this endeavour, and look forward to the results. Photos of the event would be appreciated as well. Uh, for science of course.

ohhhhhhhhh, that's good. you win a friend request

 

[Kotorfreak]

Actually I felt the sarcasm oozing out of my lap.... top.

 

[Elurindel]

Well, this sounds like an event worth supporting. For scientific reasons, obviously. Pluis anything to make islamic extremists look foolish is good.

 

[Proteus214]

I fully support this experiment.

FOR SCIENCE!

 

[DigitalSushi]

"Many women who do not dress modestly... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes," he claimed. "What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble? There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes."

I'm pro breasts, so in full support but to make it a valid experiment these women need to lead some young men astray to fully debunk the Iranian clerics theories, I'm willing to donate my services for this most scientific of causes.

"how was it for you?"
"the earth moved, like really"

 

[saejox]

no matter how strange the belief is it is not moral to mock it.
you should stop laughing at him.

Ah, of course. How silly of me.
Lead the way, oh lord. Praise be to that guy!

 

[chenry]

This is shit science. You can't do a real test without a control planet. The results of this experiment will be inconclusive without a control.


More on point though, the cleric specifically said that it was immodest dress leading to men breaking their chastity/engaging in adultery that causes earthquakes.

So this whole boobquake thing is pointless because it doesn't disprove his claim unless the women involved in boobquake also engage in adultery (Ladies, call me).

And there was an Earthquake this morning in Taiwan. Although that may have been for Charles Richter's birthday.

 

[Hawgh]

I'm sorta hoping that they'll actually manage to cause eathquakes, after which the militaries of the world would indubitably attempt to weaponise the fearsome forces of the cleavage.

That's not true at all, but lots of people in the Western world do have very little respect for people who say something that bares no resemblance to the data that has been collected over the years. As a scientist I think that this is a very good point of view, I've got nothing against religion so long as the statements made are not utterly ridiculous (ie. contradict really strong evidence with no evidence of your own).

 

[300lb. Samoan]

I'm going to try and start a one-man Moobquake.

R U SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?!?!?

The guys obviously a nut! Were not mocking his religion or its beliefs just the scientific improbability of it? Duh!

 

[Timzilla]

Boobquake.

Really?

This is just silly. Earthquakes are caused by NINJAS.

There are some ninjas have big boobs,

look at Rachel from Ninja Gaiden :3

 

[Space Cowgirl]

Wait, what? They're using breasts... For science? Y'know what, no. No amount of money is going to be able to get me out of my clothing, not even for science.

But... but... Science!

I stand by my previous statement... Not even for science. Besides, breasts aren't much besides sacks of fat and milk glands.
