Of course earthquakes are not funny, but this report on Facebook did make me laugh....thanks to my Facebook friend Matt Houston for the report.
Matt Houston - "Just had an earth quake here. 9.43"
Other - "That's a very strong earthquake - Do you think we will get more?"
Other - "How do you know it was 9.43?"
Matt Houston - "Cause I looked at my watch"
Fortunately this time the earthquake reported was in the ocean about 100 km off Frazer island. 40 km deep and a 5.7 on the Richter scale.
