Ok, story time. As you can see from my location, I go to USC. We have this rivalry thing going with UCLA, we're supposed to hate each other.
So anyway, "The Daily Bruin" is UCLA's student newspaper. A few months ago -- I think around October -- it had a minor headline saying there would be an earthquake somewhere in the Southern California area. On Friday. The article was published on a Tuesday or a Wednesday... So, anyway, if one took the time to read into the article, the justification for this claim was this: Several years ago, scientists predicted that there would be another big quake in SoCal between a certain set of dates spanning a few years. The Friday that the article claimed was the date the quake would hit was the Last day of that few-year span. That was the ONLY justification.
Needless to say, Friday came. Friday went. Not so much as a jiggle felt by anyone, or any siesmometer (sp?). So much for public school journalism
But anyway, I guess we're technically overdue.
