Wear a tank top/tight clothing/something with cleavage to try to make an earthquake happen -or- show how ridiculous that Iranian guy's comments about female immodesty causing earthquakes was.  :D

Ah okay....fyi SurlyRamics is requesting pics of anyone participating while wearing a Surly item.  I just didn't know what boobquake actually was when I saw that request on twitter and was falling asleep so I didn't ask her.

Hahaha, my fiance said I should do the same thing.  "Well sweetie, if you REALLY want to show that no amount of immodesty will trigger an earthquake..."

Just FYI Twiz and anyone else who may not know. There are hundreds of earth quakes everyday Boobquake is to test if there is a statisticly relevent increase in quakes during Boobquake. Not as some may believe to see if A single earth quake will result.

Yeah, thanks for clarifying.  I didn't explain it very well.  :(

Apparently, 120 of those 6.5 Richter bad boys a year, so, a 1/3 chance that it was just co-incidence, 2/3 chance that the Muslims were right all along. I can't really see any way to spin this in our favour, I'm off to the nearest Mosque, thankfully, in London you are rarely too far from a  Mosque, all that moaning I did seems a bit churlish now that the evidence points to them being right.

Allahu Akbar!

P.S. Can a mod change my name to "Aaarif Abdul Hannan Shadeed" please, I'm going with the 2/3 chance of being damned here.

BlagHag's results from operation "Boobquake" (http://www.blaghag.com/2010/04/and-boobquake-results-are-in.html)

Quote from: "BlagHag"Boobquake is finally over across the world. It's time to crunch some numbers - did women dressing immodestly really increase earthquakes? Can we find any data that supports Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi's hypothesis?

...

Now, this change isn't statistically significant, but it certainly doesn't support the cleric's claim. In fact, I think it develops an even more interesting alternative hypothesis: Maybe immodest women actually decrease the amount of earthquakes!  Man, that would certainly be a fun way to provide disaster relief. Of course, before we can make any claims about that, we'd have to greatly increase our sample size. You know, I have this gut feeling that a lot of people would like to do our boobquake experiment again...


Emphasis is mine.

Science is awesome.
