And it was a big one as well -- some reports say 8.9 on the Richter Scale. Which is, well, pretty huge. Starting in Aceh, it sent big tidal waves that washed Asia. Apparently it doesn't require a meteor to create a Deep Impact-like impact.

Things like this make you wonder if the G-man is sending us a message: dude, start all the wars you want; in the end I still have the final say.

But, of course, He's not. Because He's not us men, who constantly need to prove ourselves.

Nonetheless, despite the title above, have a happy X-mas, you guys. And ditto New Year. See you in two weeks' time.
