I cracked up when I happened to land on the article above. Or am I the only one who read it as if some sort of ‘poison control direction’ as opposed to any guide to what is supposed to be fun?

There occurs some conspiracy theory. It insists that the earthquake was a covert attack from US. If that was the case, and it is so tempting that I almost buy into it because the story seems to fit in the whole picture of the world conflict, all the more, it would be too frightening even to think about what US was trying [...]
