<p>They&#8217;re calling it &#8220;Boobquake&#8221;</p>

<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/822864-facebook-boobquake-group-to-prove-boobs-dont-cause-earthquakes">&#8220;An Iranian cleric bizarrely claimed that women in sexy  clothes cause earthquakes, so thousands of ladies in a &#8216;Boobquake&#8217;  campaign will show off their assets this Monday to prove him wrong.&#8221;</a></strong></em></p>
<p>Just last week I was talking about the muslim<a href="http://slightlysarcastic.net/?p=1126">FATWA</a>which stated that women should breastfeed men that they work with and now we&#8217;ve got another muslim cleric saying that boobs cause earthquakes.  I don&#8217;t even know what to say about these crazy muslims (and I&#8217;m married to one, not crazy, just muslim) and their amazing ability to blame all ills that befall earth on women.  But this has got to take the cake (or should I say quake).  Of course, a group has been started on facebook to prove this guy wrong.   If you&#8217;d like to join this group of women check out their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=116336578385346">facebook page</a>.  Let&#8217;s do what we can for science.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Iran is one of the world&#8217;s most earthquake-prone countries, but the  explanation for the tremors by one cleric left a lot of people  scratching their heads.</p>
<p>Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi said: &#8216;Many  women who do not dress modestly&#8230; lead young men astray, corrupt their  chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases  earthquakes.&#8217;</p>
<p>In order to prove him wrong, over 30,000 women have  signed up to a Facebook group called Boobquake.</p>
<p>It was started by  Jennifer McCreight, who wants to test the cleric&#8217;s claim scientifically,  by getting thousands of women to show off their cleavages to see if any  tectonic movements follow.</p>
<p>&#8216;On Monday, April 26th, I will wear  the most cleavage-showing shirt I own,&#8217; she says. &#8216;Yes, the one usually  reserved for a night on the town.</p>
<p>&#8216;I encourage other female  skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their  breasts. Or short shorts, if that&#8217;s your preferred form of immodesty.</p>
<p>&#8216;With  the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce  an earthquake. If not, I&#8217;m sure Sedighi can come up with a rational  explanation for why the ground didn&#8217;t rumble…&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>If I were them I would be far more concerned with the cleavage men are flashing everywhere.  I mean everyone knows that crack kills.  I think a far more likely scenario is this, women see man cleavage and run away as fast as they can.  If this happens where there is a large group of women it causes a stampede which then causes a shift in the earths crust bringing on an earthquake.  Voila!</p>
<p>If this guy is right and cleavage DOES causes this natural disaster I would begin here:</p>
