earthquake!

ssshhhh ... don't tell anyone but I have a Wednesday night off! it's very exciting.

In other news, there was an earthquake today. Did you hear? My plant moved. My chair moved too, but I thought it was my chair. It's not all that stable. It took someone else to point out that my entire office was moving. Still ... we figured it was a bus going by. Or some weird construction at the Big Build half a block away.

"Earthquake??" we questioned. "Naaahhhh ... maybe ...."

And it was. Cue the one-liners immediately all over the web.

Here's a sampling of what I saw:

"Sorry everyone, lunch made me a little gassy"

"Well I was in the washroom and ... I think I need more fiber"

"Started a tsunami in the fake lake in Huntsville"

"Rule No. 1 when experiencing an earthquake: - Avoid standing at a urinal."

"God was trying to shake down the security fencing around G20"

And of course, the inevitable "The end is near".

Didja feel it?
