    Northern Sumatra, Indonesia was struck by a 7.9 magnitude earthquake at 05:15:02 AM local time. A tsunami warning was originally issued but has since been canceled. According to CNN, "The tsunamis, in Banyak Island and Teluk Dalam, were small and not dangerous, measuring just under a foot high." Scientists were not expecting a widespread destructive tsunami like the one that happened in 2004 and killed more than 200,000 in 14 countries.

    It's neither warming or cooling. It just IS.

    I think I'm going to start a new religion. The religion of "IS." It would be a religion in which no one ever talks about anything of supposed relevance because it just "IS." In my religion people would actually enjoy their time on earth, laugh a lot, and just accept things as "IS."

    I love it. :snort:

    "IS"

    We don't pray to it, we don't worship it. In fact, we don't even fucking think about it because it just "IS."

    We enjoy our time on this earth. We enjoy our friends and family and days on the lake. Or the river. Or at the ocean. We do the things that make us smile. And we don't worry about any thing else because it just fucking "IS."

    All hail the "IS!" Oh.........wait......
