Did BoobQuake actually cause an Earthquake!

The rumble begins!
An Iranian cleric by the name of Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi made the mistake of saying: “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which consequently increases earthquakes,”
So of course lots of young women have got together to see if the theory was correct, and of course, the day they picked for everyone to show their boobs, was the day an earthquake happened in Taiwan!

Do it for science girls!
Jen McCreight started a BoobQuake page on facebook with these words: On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that’s your preferred form of immodesty.

Now THEY could cause an earthquake!
With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I’m sure Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn’t rumble. And if we really get through to him, maybe it’ll be one involving plate tectonics.
Well it seems that the earth did move for the people of Taiwan, but apparently it was only between 6.0 and 6.5 on the Richter scale, and there are 143 of those every year. Jen says that this means there was a 37% chance of that happening anyway, but the fact is, one happened on BoobQuake Day.
And it gives everyone a chance to show lots of pics of awesome cleavages!
