  1. Satellites? Why in my day we used dogs! by Prince_Ali · · Score: 5, Funny

    We had a small earthquake a while ago, and about a minute before it happened my miniature pinscher jumped on my back and woke me up. If a single minpin can predict an earthquake a minute before it happens then a beowulf cluster of 1024 minpins could give people several hours notice.
