A good friend of mine, and fellow slashdotter (Viduliya (39839)) is currently in Sri Lanka getting married. If he's OK, I'll joke with him about his earth shaking honeymoon when he gets back.

Or maybe it's just plate tectonics moving around under our feet. I know it's human nature to think a higher power is standing ready to punish the wicked and reward the good, but when a rock this large cools over billions of years, you have to expect it will jiggle a little.

Slashdot aint CNN.

Is it devoid of any original content or in-depth analysis?
Does it show the same stories over and over and over again?
Are the adverts intrusive and increasing?
