Yes I am.
I was awake and didn't feel a darn thing. My parents live a couple miles away. My dad said he felt something, but it was more like someone jumping on the roof, a real sudden, brief vibration of the house. Nothing shook or anything. He actually went outside to see if some weirdo was on his roof. Earthquake never entered his mind until he heard about it on the radio this morning. I'm bummed. An earthquake in Texas with an epicenter a few miles from your house has to be a one-time thing, and I wasn't even aware.

2.5 or 3 is really small. It has to be really close to you to really notice it, and even then you probably need to be sitting down.
I lived in Los Angeles for 3 years when I was in middle school and there would be after shocks or little ones all the time that I didn't feel because I was outside running around or something. And all earth quakes are not created equally...some of them shake a little some of them rumble.... One time I was sitting on the couch and it felt literally like someone picked the house up a few feet, and then dropped it, and then that was it. Just real quick, but it felt as if you just got dropped straight down...it was crazy. An earthquake is a weird, weird feeling.

2.5 is equivalent to like going to a sports event and the crowd is really into it.

I thought Texas was in the middle of a tectonic plate - what caused the earthquake? Spreading? Rising? (it certainly wasn't rubbing, like most earthquakes...)

Is anyone watching this about this plane that sunk in the hudson with like 60 people still on board? This is horrific.
edit: Now they're saying maybe everyone got off... this is nuts.

Wow. Pilots deserve a raise for handling the crash as well as they did.

First snow in the Emirates (UAE). I read somewhere that in some areas of the region there is no word for snow existing.

Islam is the light.
http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/strange...00921532177991 Video game plays strange message? Mother: toy says 'Islam is the light' KNIGHTSVILLE, Ind. (WTHI) - Months ago, Rachel Jones was shocked to discover her 4-year-old's baby doll seemed to have a hidden message: Islam is the light. Imagine her surprise when a game for her 8-year-old daughter's Nintendo DS had the same message. Rachel said she bought the Nintendo game, Baby Pals, as a gift for her 8-year-old daughter after a good report card. She had no idea the game also contained the hidden message "Islam is the light." "We were sitting in the kitchen, and she was playing it," said Jones. "All of a sudden she looked at me, and I looked at her and she said, 'Mom, I think my baby said something.' And so I played it back, and it says 'Islam is the light.'" The message on the doll and in the Nintendo game sound exactly the same. The Nintendo game has an "E" rating, which means it's suitable for any age. In a virtual reality setting, the child playing the game can feed the baby or teach it to crawl, among other things. It's only when the child gives the baby a bath that it repeatedly seems to say "Islam is the light." Jones said she's angry this is the second toy she's had to take from her children. "Not just my daughters' toys, but we have a son too," said Jones. "Now I feel like I need to listen to all of his little toys to make sure they're not saying it." Nintendo's representatives said the game is manufactured by a third party, so they're not responsible for the content, but the game's packaging clearly states the game is licensed by Nintendo. News 10 also contacted the game's manufacturer, Crave Entertainment, and we are still waiting on a call back. The Baby Pals game can be purchased at a number of places, including Game Stop, Walmart.com, Amazon.com and Target.com.

http://i.gizmodo.com/5157354/boy-kil...chair-explodes
Boy Killed Anally When Office Chair Explodes Well, stories don't get much worse than this. A 14-year-old boy in China was killed when his chair exploded, sending chunks of metal into his rectum. The bleeding this caused killed him. The alleged explosion came from the gas cylinder that was in the base of the chair, the part that allowed the user to adjust the seat up and down. The canister gets compressed when you sit on it, but can it actually create enough energy to make the seat cushion explode like that and kill a man? I doubt it, but this is what people are reporting. In other news, I am working from a beanbag from now on. Sweet merciful crap. ----- I guess doing stuff to your anus can kill you.

So she still gets the gift card? Lame. After all that, she should receive no reward whatsoever. Unless a swift kick in the pants is a reward.
