Sorry for being off topic but I just want to say to our brothers and sisters in Christchurch NZ, that all our hearts, prayers and best wishes are with you.

Stay strong (as I know you will) and remember that you are not alone.

Nope.

About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.

Yes good luck to our Kiwi mates. The quake was a complete surprise but the courage and mate ship they are showing the world is not. Our thoughts and prayers are with you NZ.

Could be, but i have never before heard of an earthquake in NZ.

Anyway, while we're at it, lets also not forget those brave people in Lybia standing up against dictator Muammar Gaddafi this very moment. Already 300 people died and by the looks of it, it's not going to stop anytime soon.
