San Diego, Oct. 9 -- Yet another major earthquake has rattled the Pacific
Rim. Today's temblor registered yap-yap-yap on the international scale. The
quake appears to have originated in Oslo, Norway, in a region that rarely
experiences seismic activity. The shock wave took a unique form, apparently
a linear configuration stretching for hundreds of miles, before terminating
with a bang in San Diego, California. Earwitnesses reported hearing
piercing, agonized yapping when the quake struck. Reverberations of great
magnitude are expected throughout the wingnut blogosphere.

Seismologists in Oslo had no scientific explanation for today's bizarre
phenomenon, but a great deal of smirking was observed throughout Europe.

We await word from San Diego EMS on Scottiedog's condition.
