Ken (moon man) Ring predicted another large earthquake to strike Christchurch today, the day that the moon reaches perigee, or the closest point to earth. His reasoning is that the additional gravitational pull will cause the fault to slip again causing another massive earthquake.
Well, perigee occurred at 08:09 this morning, and at 08:57 there was a 3.1 aftershock in Christchurch. Ok so it was only 1/30000 the strength of what could be considered massive. So was he right or not?

With the amount of earthquakes NZ has I could have predicted that oneOriginally Posted by Jantar

Don't forget Jim Berkland has predicted the same for California
edit: I almost forgot, Ken Ring is an scaremongering arsehole and you'd have to be a gullible fuckwit to believe him

My prediction is there will be more aftershocks in the Christchurch area in the days following.

OK, in addition to being a "nut", I am calling him a fraud, and a criminal.

No. Just about everyone in Christchurch would have predicted there would be at least one 3.something shake today. The surprise would be if there had not been one.
I have been fighting the irrational fear of this twat at work for months now and told my management team that if there there was anything 6 or over on Richter Scale on the week around the 20th I'd shave my head.

from the Herald article:
Avondale resident Nicky Taylor left for Waikuku on Friday with her two children Tim, 6 and Charlotte, 4.
She said there would be a lot of anxiety in the city this weekend. "If something happened I'd feel terrible. It's a long weekend and a good excuse to get out."
Ring's heart was in the right place, said Taylor and "he seems to know what he's talking about". ... And that is the danger. A convincing guy with a bad thoery.
Oh, I noticed right at the end of the article:
ACC Minister Nick Smith and the Sceptics Society are holding a lunch today to mock Ring's prediction.

Ken Ring's stats are about as meaningful as ACC's yet Nick Smith believes those fuckers...

You mean the Japan earthquake he didn't predict?
Sounds like excuses are being made already
