No idea where this originated, but it’s been floating around my Facebook feed over the last twelve hours. Note – according to reader Henri, it looks like it originated from Fark.com.

Other notes:

  • I didn’t feel a thing because of something about the building I work in and SCIENCE.
  • Toby Keith has already written a song where he beats up Earthquakes.
  • Some buildings were evacuated, but many office workers claimed to have felt their building Sway (from MTV News?) and left out of concern for their own safety. Thankfully, most were state workers, so productivity didn’t take a hit.
  • Some legislators and their staffers left work due to concerns about surrounding gas mains and hit the bars. Some say because they’re a fun loving bunch, but I like to think the Earthquake shook them in the moral sense, reminding them of the ethical compromises they made to become Kings of S*** Mountain.
  • My mother felt it down in Virginia. She’s fine.
  • Please use this time to donate to the Special Olympics of NY. Donate to Megan and she’ll make you cookies, cupcakes, and/or an assortment of other goodies. Donate to Phil and he’ll do tons of stuff…including WRITING A SONG ABOUT YOU for a mere $25 donation.

    HA! Love the picture! Love the bullets. At my state office on N. Pearl in Menands, we didn’t feel a thing but that didn’t stop the staties from asking if we could evacuate. My boss’s exact words when asked were “what earthquake?”.

    I need to make that picture my screen saver.

    I love how buildings were evacuated. If the building is unsafe for you to stay in. How safe is it going to be 100 feet away when the thing collapses?

    “Your mom felt it down in Virginia”? This is a family show, Kevin!

    The only thing I could think at that moment was “i don’t want to die at work, i don’t want to die at work”.
