I have noticed an uptick in the sexiness of earthquakes lately. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Apr 6, 16:16 1

"Since 1900, there have been approximately 18 earthquakes of 7.0 or greater magnitude per year. (One usually crosses the 8.0 barrier.) There are no - mara Apr 6, 16:02 6
- It's April and there have been 7 that are 7.0+ so far this year. That puts us on target for 21. I'm sure that's within one standard deviation of mean. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 16:09 3

Due to global warming, I am sure. -- nm - Kick Ass Apr 6, 15:59 6
