    1. It's the latest in a serious of quakes to strike the island in recent months. In October another series of 6.6 and 6.5-magnitude quakes struck Mindanao, killing 14 and injuring more than 400.

      That's a lot of huge earthquakes that happened within the months and Huntington Beach hasn't had a major earthquake in over 80 years.

    2. It added that there was no tsunami threat, as the quake struck inland and not the water.

      They are very lucky that it hit inland and not the water because it would have created a huge tsunami.

    3. A 6-year-old girl was among three people killed when a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines island of Mindanao on Sunday.

      This is crazy how they would let him join back for what he did.

    2. The woman was five weeks pregnant, the report said, and had told Walton on Sunday that the child was his.

      You can not punch a woman that is five weeks pregnant. You could kill the baby even if it is that early.

      If these were your most fulfilling years, why would you ruin your place as CEO.

    1. As far as the green little guys that some imagine waddle through Area 51’s hallways, Mr. Shostak said there was almost no chance. Secrets like that, he said, would get out.

    2. Area 51, a unit of the Nellis Air Force Base, is a secret military site that has long been rumored — in television shows, movies and online forums — to be the home of extraterrestrial life.

    2. Ator was pulled over by Texas troopers in Midland on Saturday afternoon for failing to use his signal, police said.

      This is interesting because it a failing to use signal is not that bad. Why would they pull him over.
