There’s been this rumor that an earthquake is going to hit the Philippines TOMORROW.  It’s a real doozie, too, with a magnitude of 8.1.  Whole thing started a few weeks back.  Supposedly, some Brazilian prophet by name of Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose predicted the whole thing.  Of course, the prediction spread like wildfire via text messages, emails, and blogs, getting everybody in a panic.

PhilVolcs, the country’s authority on seismic activity, says that there’s no scientific basis behind the prediction, though.  They say that sure, an earthquake MIGHT happen, but it could happen today, yesterday, or tomorrow or a billion years from now, or never at all.  It’s a crap shoot.

Having said that, I’m STILL staying home tomorrow.  Why?  There’s nothing else to do, anyway.
