Fact. The only reason it wouldn't be fact is if the count is actually much higher.

crap, I think there are a lot more than 9,000 earthquakes world wide per day. but then on the other hand it could be fact if we're counting just the medium to maximum. but then again maybe we're counting all of them....at any rate if it is 9,000 it is still crap because I doubt they counted all of Pammy's

It's a reelin' and rockin' Thursday and Survivor starts tonight!!! WOO HOO!!! Hope all you FoCers are doing well. It's another gray, rainy day here and my cat has been sneezing! Hope it's temporary and won't require a vet visit.

Yesterday's FoC item was:

On average, do 9,000 earthquakes take place worldwide every day?

I'm not sure the Calendar Composers had Pamy in mind when they conjured this one up, but you never know! Now, by Pamy's own admission, not even she could produce that much earth-moving action, however not everyone seemed to believe her. :-) You said. . .
Fact 21
Crap 12
Three of you thought the number should be higher and two thought it should be less. Laralyn was sorta all over the place with her answer. LOL

Well, here's the "official" answer:

It's FACT! "You may not feel or hear them, but earthquakes are taking place all over the world at this very minute. Most of these temblors register only 1-2 on the Richter Scale. On average every year, the United States Geological Survey reports 18 major earthquakes measuring between 7.0 and 7.9, and one extremely large earthquake, 8.0 or larger."

Okay, now you know! Since I live near Mt. St. Helens, I sometimes check out their local seismograph. It's been fairly quiet just lately, but if, on a clear day, I see a vertical 'cloud' start rising in the north, it will generally be because the mountain decided to let off a little steam. That seismograph makes quite a shaking design then! :-) Anyway, California isn't the only place earthquakes happen in the U.S. -- not by a long shot. They just have better press agents down there!

Okay, so here's the FoC item for Thursday, February 2, 2006:
red
Redd Foxx was the first man to utter "hell" and engage in an interracial kiss on prime-time television.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

And I am such a Star Trek geek, I can even tell you which episodes. City on the Edge of Forever ("Let's get the hell out of here.") and Plato's Stepchildren (where Kirk was forced to kiss Uhuru through mind control).

for a minute i was thinking "julia", but i decided the "hell" word might not have happened there, although the iterracial kiss might have.

prisoner, you would love to have my new address!

I don't think the first interracial tv kiss was on US television. Is this a trick question?
