None of those sources are close to the USA and hence the chances of any

The above posts, after the Indonesian tsunami, were so absurd that

There you have it from bang-bang chang - Indonesian is in the United States.

Dumbass -

The Cascadia subduction zone is 50 miles off the coast of Washington
and Oregon. lol! moron.

thanks,

K. Gringioni.

Look at the f'ing history of events assbag!
There is always "maybe, could have, might happen" in the future........

Where have most of these events happened in the last hundred years. NOT in
the US.

Idiot -


Read the article. The quakes have a 300 year average interval in the
Cascadia Subduction Zone. The last one was in 1700, but the reason
there isn't a written history (only a geological one) is that the non-
native Americans hadn't settled there yet.


thanks,

K. Gringioni.

I realize that you're really attempting to look smart but you aren't built
for it. If you were bright enough to understand how subduction zones
generate earthquakes you'd understand that the continental plate is on the
"safe" side.



Idiot -


There is nothing safe about a magnitude 9.0 quake.

Here's what the US Geological Survey says about it - the geological
evidence indicates both a 9.0 event and a tsunami.

From:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/...1700_01_26.php

Cascadia Subduction Zone
1700 01 26
Magnitude ~9

This earthquake, the largest known to have occurred in the "lower 48"
United States, rocked Cascadia, a region 600 miles long that includes
northern California, Oregon, Washington, and southern British
Columbia. The earthquake set off a tsunami that not only struck
Cascadia's Pacific coast, but also crossed the Pacific Ocean to Japan,
where it damaged coastal villages. Written records of the damage in
Japan pinpoint the earthquake to the evening of January 26, 1700.

The M9 Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake of January 26, 1700




At 9PM on January 26, 1700 one of the world's largest earthquakes
occurred along the west coast of North America. The undersea Cascadia
thrust fault ruptured along a 1000 km length, from mid Vancouver
Island to northern California in a great earthquake, producing
tremendous shaking and a huge tsunami that swept across the Pacific.
The Cascadia fault is the boundary between two of the Earth's tectonic
plates: the smaller offshore Juan de Fuca plate that is sliding under
the much larger North American plate.

The earthquake shaking collapsed houses of the Cowichan people on
Vancouver Island and caused numerous landslides. The shaking was so
violent that people could not stand and so prolonged that it made them
sick. On the west coast of Vancouver Island, the tsunami completely
destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no
survivors. These events are recorded in the oral traditions of the
First Nations people on Vancouver Island. The tsunami swept across the
Pacific also causing destruction along the Pacific coast of Japan. It
is the accurate descriptions of the tsunami and the accurate time
keeping by the Japanese that allows us to confidently know the size
and exact time of this great earthquake.

The earthquake also left unmistakeable signatures in the geological
record as the outer coastal regions subsided and drowned coastal
marshlands and forests that were subsequently covered with younger
sediments. The recognition of definitive signatures in the geological
record tells us the January 26, 1700 event was not a unique event, but
has repeated many times at irregular intervals of hundreds of years.
Geological evidence indicates that 13 great earthquakes have occurred
in the last 6000 years.

We now know that a similar offshore event will happen sometime in the
future and that it represents a considerable hazard to those who live
in southwest B.C. However, because the fault is offshore, it is not
the greatest earthquake hazard faced by major west coast cities. In
the interval between great earthquakes, the tectonic plates become
stuck together, yet continue to move towards each other. This causes
tremendous strain and deformation of the Earth's crust in the coastal
region and causes ongoing earthquake activity. This is the situation
that we are in now. Some onshore earthquakes can be quite large (there
have been four magnitude 7+ earthquakes in the past 130 years in
southwest B.C. and northern Washington State). Because these inland
earthquakes can be much closer to our urban areas and occur more
frequently, they represent the greatest earthquake hazard. An inland
magnitude 6.9 earthquake in 1995 in a similar geological setting
beneath Kobe, Japan caused in excess of $200 billion damage.

The victim accumulates story after story, but evidently can't

But if he's an alien why does he use a prolix name like Bob Schwartz,
surely Ford Prefect or Jeep Cherokee or Scooter Libby would be more
appropriate.

I wonder if has a ZX80 keyboard too. That might explain the typos in his

I learned to program on a TI-57:
http://www.datamath.org/Sci/MAJESTIC/TI-57.htm

It has 50 program steps, about as many as Kunich,
but is significantly more flexible. Bob, if you're
serious about releasing the source, I could try
porting him.

LRN RCL 1 x^2 - 4 x RCL 0 x RCL 2 = SQRT STO 4 - RCL 1
= / 2 / RCL 0 R/S RST

I learned to program on my fathers programmable HP calculator (I forget
the model number), so I submit that I could do an even better job of
porting him given my early introduction to FORTH-like RPN.

I wonder if Kunich could be programmed to land a lunar module; perhaps we
could send him to the moon.

I suppose this is the sort of thing that we see in them with the racing

Here's a clue for you - you're the horses asses who seem to believe that
your ideas are infallible. When confronted with a different opinion you
can't handle it.

Once again, totally wrong. I have no idea how many times I've
admitted being wrong here, learned new things and re-evaluated my
positions, but it's a lot since there are a lot of very well informed
people here that bring new information to the discussion.
I'm sure that you just might be the only one who doesn't remember me
doing this, especially since I admitted again, to a monumental ****up,
here yesterday.
