Well my wife informs me that our college-age daughter participated in this important scientific experiment to validate the claims that the lack of burkhas is causing earthquakes... The experiment was called "boobquake" and I feel proud of American ingenuity to come up with such a valuable contribution to the great bikini/burkha debate.
gleaned from the web:<http://www.woodtv.com/dpps/news/strange/creator-says-boobquake-didnt-shake-earth-jgr_3331687> "The average magnitude of earthquakes yesterday was actually slightly lower than the average for the past two months, causing McCreight to quip that perhaps the hypothesis that immodest women reduce earthquakes needs to be examined. McCreight is aware that her study has some flaws. For example, as she said on her blog, it would have been nice to have a control planet available where women wore only burkas yesterday. Still, even if some criticize her results, she considers the event a success. "Boobquake was originally intended to be a humorous exercise in scientific and skeptical thinking - that we should test claims people make, especially when they're ridiculous. And what could be a better way to do that than to question the methods of boobquake itself?" McCreight stated on her blog. For graphs and additional commentary on McCreight's results, you can check out her blog<http://www.blaghag.com/2010/04/and-boobquake-results-are-in.html> .
