DaGip Heard Earthquake @ 5:30 AM

by **DaGip** on Fri May 30, 2008 5:36 am

DaGip heard earthquake at 5:30 AM CST, so expect an earthquake around 10:30 AM CST, that would be around 3:30 PM GMT...

The Day of Judgement is here! Lock up your daughters! Hoard away your tins! Grovel to Jay!

Laugh once again as it turns out DaGimp was talking UTTER BALLS!

Why do you refer to yourself in the third person? You aren't related to a certain '96 presidential hopeful, are you?

We're now 27 minutes past the predicted approximate time, has anyone heard about another quake caused by the CIA on the news so far?

Damn! I was two hours off! I am new to the earthquake predicting business, I am still learning the ropes. The thing is is that there is so much activity in the earth right now, that I am picking up signals everyday, but I am trying to sort them out, and decide which ones are worth reporting to you. In this case, I was off by a couple hours, it's not a perfect science yet.

The other thing that me and some friends were talking about today was that we were thinking that i can actually hear the government's secret weather control weapon located somewhere up in the Yukon. I might be picking up the government using that device. They may have fired it off today, but for what reasons, I couldn't tell you.

Perhaps we will have a big hurricane or something pop up?

Have you, per chance, smoked a bit too much draw, Da Gimp?

I did a quick search on google and found a page that claims that there are almost than 1500 earthquakes every year of magnitude 5 or higher. That's more than 4 every day. 1 quake every 6 hours.

If you had been within 2 hours of a magnitude 6 or 7 quake it would have been impressive, DaGip, but predicting a magnitude 5 earthquake is a little like predicting it will rain some time during the next month if those numbers are correct.

Damn! I can't slip anything past you guys! #-o

I will try again the next time I think there will be one between 6 or 7 or even greater...then you can either sit in awe of the omnipotent 'Gip or ridicule him as usual.

Haha, I remember some statistic that in Japan there are about 90 ish earthquakes a day, most unfelt. Nice try though DaGip.

woo, I just had a psychic vision:
Sometime within the next week, DaGip is gonna start a ludicrous thread.
wait, wait, there's more coming through:
he will be mocked

I am now convinced that you are just joking with this stuff...

Previously I was concerned that you'd inhaled a teeny bit too much of the Columbian Marching-Powder, but now I am happy in the knowledge that you're just a comic genius. Good work.
