El Diablo, an Indian god, made a giant rip in the ground so that he and his cohorts did not have to take the long way around, whenever they wanted to stir up mischief on the earth.
It's the Mexican cartels.
It's a Russian God who apparently doesn't know anything about hygiene.Kamchatka, Siberia, Russia
A god named Tuli drove an earth-laden sled pulled by flea-infested dogs: when the dogs stopped to scratch, the earth shook.
It's an epileptic frog who ate bad sushi.Mongolia, China
A gigantic frog which carried the world on its back, twitched periodically, producing slight quakes.
Peru
Whenever their god visited the earth to count how many people were there, his footsteps caused earthquakes. To shorten his task, the people ran out of their houses to shout "I'm here, I'm here!" (incorporating in their myth, the wisdom of leaving their flimsy houses during an earthquake).
It's a Peruvian God who apparently doesn't know what the Hell is going on in his domain.
Japan
A giant catfish lived in mud beneath the earth. The catfish liked to play pranks and could only be restrained by Kashima,a god who protected the Japanese people from earthquakes. So long as Kashima kept a mighty rock with magical powers over the catfish, the earth was still. But when he relaxed his guard, the catfish thrashed about, causing earthquakes.
Well, what can I say, GOD apparently really hates Japan....or fish...or nets...
Earthquake Immunity
Some people believe that they are protected from a large earthquake because their home is often shaken by small earthquakes that "let off steam". This is not true. A moderate earthquake, of Richter magnitude 5.0, releases only one thousandth of the energy of a large magnitude 7.0 earthquake. The moderate quakes may actually be precursors of larger earthquakes.
Truth believed by liberals who drop facts about earthquakes that prove that they have never witnessed one.
