Thanks Mike. It's finals count down and I'm in the midst of 47 apa papers to grade (2 down, 45 to go). So I'm glad some one is keeping track but drat, if the world ended I could stop grading.
Annette Sent from my Verizon Wireless Phone Mike Palij wrote: In a previous post to Tips I had pointed out that a prophecy had been made regarding the utter destruction of Rome on Wednesday, May 21, 2011. Rome time is six hours ahead of eastern daylight time and given that it is about 6:30pm in NYC and there has been no media announcement of a devastating earthquake in Rome, it must be conceded that "prophecy has failed". But don't take my word for it, consider this story from the Discovery News website: http://news.discovery.com/earth/still-intact-rome-110511.html But wait, we all know how fallible news accounts can be, is there some other way to determine whether Rome has been devastated by an earthquake? Why, yes Virginia, by checking out today's record of earthquake occurrences around the world at the US geological survey (USGS) website: Here is a list of today's earthquakes: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/eqs1day-M0.xml And here's the USGS's homepage for it's earthquake programs: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/ But wait, a popular service that is provided in many cities is a live webcam of activity (in NYC the city government has a dedicated camera network and it's own cable channel that allows one to view the traffic conditions at various points in NYC), and here is one for Rome: http://www.streamdays.com/camera/view/roman_forum_italy Now some will claim that this is all a big cover-up, that Rome was destroyed but the "Powers That Be" (and you know who you are) do not want people to know that the prophecy came true. But I, ever the skeptic, will maintain that maybe Rome was destroyed, maybe it wasn't. More evidence is needed. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu P.S. I knew that I should have placed a side bet on a earthquake hitting Spain; see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/spain/8508047/Earthquake-hits-southern-Spain-eight-dead.html --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: tay...@sandiego.edu.
