Lex Luthor Is Pleased

BIG EARTHQUAKE “GUARANTEED” TO HIT CALIFORNIA WITHIN THIRTY YEARS

FITSNews – April 15, 2008 – The greatest criminal mind of our time is no doubt ecstatic this morning after the U.S. Geological Survey predicted that a major earthquake is “guaranteed” to hit California within the next thirty years.

In fact, we’re sure Lex Luthor and his well-endowed sidekick Miss Teschmacher (editor’s note: NSFW ) are busy buying up land along the San Andreas Fault right now. From the story:

California faces an almost certain risk of being rocked by a strong earthquake by 2037, according to the first statewide temblor forecast, released today.

New calculations reveal there is a 99.7 percent chance a magnitude 6.7 quake or larger will strike in the next 30 years.

South Carolina also sits on an active fault line, incidentally, as folks in Charleston are probably aware. In fact, an earthquake measuring 2.5 on the Richter Scale hit Hanahan, S.C. back in October of last year.
