We Have a Winner!

Among the more common suggestions is that eco-weapons which can trigger earthquakes and volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves were being tested. More outlandish theories include one that aliens caused the earthquake to try and correct the “wobbly rotation of the Earth”.

“There’s a lot more to this. Why is the US sending a warship? Why is a senior commander who was in Iraq (news – web sites) going there?” whispered designer Mark Tyler, drinking a pint of beer at a bar in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai district.”

This happened exactly a year after Bam,” said Tyler, referring to the earthquake in Iran which killed 30,000 on December 26 last year. “Is that a coincidence? And there was no previous seismic activity recorded in Sumatra before the quake, which is very strange,” he said, nodding somberly.

If you wondered what Mark Tyler actually designs, consider your curiosity slaked. The truth is out there, Mark. Never give up, ’cause The Man wants to keep you down, you know.

Still, I’m holding out for “widespread acceptance in a region or country,” and thus far, the desperate and suffering haven’t been enlightened to the wisdom of Mark Tyler. Their loss, I guess. Probably too distracted with things like recovering bodies, eating, and rebuilding.
