What REALLY happened in Japan?

Hmmm, a giant wave appears from the ocean near Japan, there's trembling in the earth and a bunch of buildings get knocked down...now all of a sudden we're told to disregard a sudden wave of radiation readings coming from their country? It's all just a series of unfortunate coincidences...

Call me crazy, but it sounds like earthquakes and a tsunami. Was I supposed to come to a different conclusion?

You're close, you just need to flip "a giant wave appears from the ocean near Japan" and "there's trembling in the earth" so that they are in the correct order.

And the events you refer to are not "coincidences". The "giant wave" and "wave of radiation" are both consequences of the "trembling in the earth". Calling them "coincidences" suggests that they have nothing to do with each other when of course they are in fact connected to root cause (i.e., tectonic stress being violently relieved in what we call an "earthquake").

Both small points but you have to be careful with these sorts of things as you could confuse a stupid person:)
 
Let's see. Trembling in the earth, tidal waves, buildings knocked down, and radioactivity. Think people! Who knocks down buildings, makes the earth tremble when he walks, produces tidal waves when he comes ashore and has radioactive breath?

The obvious answer is: Godzilla has awakened and is on his way to destroy Tokyo! Run for your lives.
 
I think the OP is getting at the possibility of Gamron or Godzilla reawakening.

Well I hope this is what the OP is all about. It is in CT and not Community though, so who knows.

I think that the earhquake came hours before the giant wave, and maybe was resposible for it (just a wild guess mind you). But that's just me. Buildings falling down? YES THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EARTHQUAKE! Sanfrancisco in 1906 springs to mind here.

Radiation? Well, when meltdowns occur in Nuclear Plants radiation will be released into the atmosphere. Maybe, just maybe, the meltdown (such as they were) were an aftermath of the Earthquake.

It all resulted from a single event... an earthquake. **** happens.

Not a chance.

Obama sent out an order to turn on HAARP supweapon. It has been built in secret and none of the people who operate it have ever spoken of its awesome destructive powers. There is a great deal of discussion of HAARP and hundreds of scientists who have studied it, but it is all just a cover for its real use, and these scientists are all part of a plan to keep this a secret. The HAARP was turned on the ocean, boiling it and causing a tidal wave. It then shattered the Earth's crust. The Japanese had to blow up their power station to cover for residual radiation that HAARP left behind.

Oh well, I suppose it makes a change from "god did it 'cause the japanese are the wrong flavour of religion". :rolleyes:

Your razor doesn't seem to be working. Try sharpening it.

WHo is the evil bastard who colorized a Ray Harryhausen classic like "It Came From Beneath The Sea". He needs to pay heavily for his crimes.

Ha! There you go, hung by your own words! EVERY film-goer knows that all this stuff happens instantaneously, at worst there's only seconds between each catastrophe...Roland Emmerich tells me so...and he's German, just like Einstein, so he obviously knows what he's on about.

The Government of Monster Island disavows any action taken by certain rogue elements and assures the people of Japan that we value their friendship.

If it can do that to Japan I'm not shaving with it.

Octopus? That thing only had 5 legs.
Now if we could find Mega-Shark and get them to fight we'd all be safe...

BTW when asked.at a Sci FI convention in the 80's about why the monsters in "It Came From Beneath The Sea" only had 5 legs Ray Harryhausen was honest:That was all they could afford.
To animate 8 Tenticles using stop action would have sent the film over budget, a big no no for what was a low budget Sci fi film in the Fifties,and to have three Tentacles never moving would have ruined the effect. So they did with five.

Hell, I never even noticed that. :boxedin:
 
According to my dad, Nikola Tesla is indirectly responsible for the disaster in Japan by inspiring the U.S. government to build a mysterious space-ray machine called HAARP that causes the sun to emit earthquake-causing solar flares.

After all, if HAARP could cause earthquakes, wouldn't they be the last ones to tell you that?

Your father needs help, sad to say.

I think she needs to upload videos of her dad to youtube lol.

Pfft, yeah right. If he found out I was taping his rants, then he'd use this as proof that people are conspiring against him. And if I honestly convinced him to post his rants to YouTube, and I posted them here, I think he'd find out sooner or later that I frequent this site, and that would not go over well with him.

It would be funny though.

I've read many of your posts concerning your father's beliefs. I'm pretty sure others have already said it, but it sounds like he needs medical help. Otherwise, I hope when you're old enough and get the chance, you leave home and get away from that environment. I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, but it sounds like a very unstable situation.

I joined the Navy and left for boot camp fourteen hours after graduating from High School. I would have left in January, when I turned eighteen, but the program I wanted required a diploma. Getting away from my looney old man was job one for me.

Wow, I'm sure you have some interesting stories.

Oh, I definitely plan on leaving the state when I go to college. And maybe when I have enough money, leave the country.
