A little addition from bogusmagus et al.. .'.

Despite the tongue-in-cheek stylings of my previous post, I think (as with most paranoia) that there are elements worth considering.
Bogusmagus posted the following over at The Maybelogic Academy:

A friend just emailed me with:
"I seems to me that each of the last big earthquakes(Turkey, Japan) happened after someone somewhere tested Nuclear Weapons (Russia last week, their biggest program yet) (Pakistan and India before the others) I'm looking for people on line or somewhere who might be tracking this pattern, especially because Russia has said this is the beginning of their biggest program yet, and Bush is proposing to restart Reagan's Strategic Defence Initiative again but bigger, when he was in Canada he tried to talk them into joining him, they refused."

My first search took me here http://www.ratical.org/radiation/inetSeries/testsNquakes.html
which seems frightening enough to mention.

"Killer Quakes and Bomb Tests
In an even more revealing analysis, Whiteford studies so-called "killer earthquakes" in which more than one thousand people have died. He compiled a list of all such quakes since 1953 and matched them with nuclear test schedules. Some test dates were not available, but in those that were, a pattern was evident: 62.5% of the killer earthquakes occurred only a few days after a nuclear test. Many struck only one day after a detonation. More than a million people have now died in earthquakes that seem to be related to nuclear tests. Again, the governments of the nuclear nations claim the results are mere coincidence."

This one is more cautious http://geology.about.com/cs/eq_hazards/a/aa033102a.htm

Another thing worth looking at (plant those tongues!) is, The Story of John Titor, John Titor claimed to be a time traveller from 2038.. Read it with as much scepticism as you wish - I'm not implying that his story is true, but there are useful things to gleam from his writings regardless.
