#2 Update:

JAKARTA, Indonesia - A massive earthquake struck Indonesia on Wednesday, triggering a tsunami in the town of Padang and warnings for much of the Indian Ocean region, authorities said. The quake caused tall buildings to sway in a least four countries.

A wave of up to nine feet was reported to have hit Padang about 20 minutes after the quake, said Suhardjono, an official with Indonesia's meteorological agency, who goes by only one name.

#6 Not a bent nickel, not a rusty canteen, not a used syringe, not a broken down generator, not even a bottle of outdated aspirin for these ungrateful terrorist bastards.
