| Boobquake gets off to shaky start |
| 2010-04-26 |
| BOOBQUAKE founder Jennifer McCreight may have some serious questions to answer. Her day of action calling on the women of the world to dress scandalously and prove wrong an Iranian cleric who blames natural disasters on cleavage has started, well, disastrously. At 11am local time, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan, no doubt causing thousands of Boobquake fans to hastily button up. |

| #11 What we are talking about here is the female equivalent of the Stockbridge Damper, used to dampen vibrations on large power lines. If the earthquake in Taiwan was to be stopped, all the cleavage units would have needed to be fully released before the earthquake, otherwise they would not have their damping function actuated.

| #7 The only possible problem might be if that many exposed boobs causes a mathematician to divide by zero. I would have thought by infinity, but I discovered the hard way that I don't think like a mathematician. |

| #6 I say it is nto applicable. Its Taiwan. IBTC was probably originally formed there. One cannot put much cleavage on a 2x4. There are notable exceptions, but over-all, it is mos def not Las Vegas. |

| #5 Well, theoretically, they should all take their breasts out of their blouses entirely, because the boob counter-jiggle would actually dampen the movement of the earthquake. It uses the same logic that increasing a fractional amount of a trace gas can cause global warming, so the science of the earthquake boob dampening effect is also settled. The only possible problem might be if that many exposed boobs causes a mathematician to divide by zero. |

| #4 At 11am local time, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan, no doubt causing thousands of Boobquake fans to hastily button up. Button up? I think we're onto something that Halliburton could only dream of! I'd say leave them unbuttoned! |

| #3 I'd stay abreast of the situation, but it really is NSFW. |

| #1 Reminds me of the old story that if everyone on earth jumped up at the same time then the earth would shift out of orbit This sounds more fun though ! |
