Quote of the day about the earthquake...

[graculus]

I hope, I really hope this is a joke, but to be honest I'm not really sure:

"I've never been so terrified... I called the police but they said there was nothing they could do... Why do I pay my taxes????"

You just know that he expected the police to drop everything, come round to his house, check his roof for loose tiles, etc., and reassure him that yes, there was an earthquake, and that he's alright. Poor chap is too dense to be able to tell for himself, it would seem.
