      The frequency of big earthquakes lately is scary.
      As the sun set in Chile on Saturday, a picture of the immense structural damage wrought by an early morning earthquake had come clearly into focus, with the nation's president estimating that 2 million people had been affected in some way.

          So I have watched every minute of the olympics this year. Canada has the most gold medals <3

          They have won the most gold medals for the winter olympics ever. 14 golds

            No real reason to be scared.

            But in the grand scheme of things, geologists say this is just Mother Nature as usual.

            "From our human perspective with our relatively short and incomplete memories and better and better communications around the world, we hear about more earthquakes and it seems like they are more frequent," Arrowsmith said. "But this is probably not any indication of a global change in earthquake rate of significance."

            Coupled with better communication, as the human population skyrockets and we move into more hazardous regions, we're going to hear more about the events that do occur, Arrowsmith added.

                      I am supposed to renew my driver's license in 2011. It is good for 4 to 8 years so the world cannot end or I payed too much for those extra years.

                          Does this mean you are a 2012 theory believer?
