How about a THIRD earthquake?

You guys might want to try reading the entire article.

The Elazig quake followed deadly temblors in Haiti and Chile, but Bernard Doft, the seismologist for the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute in Utrecht, said there was no direct connection between the three.

"These events are too far apart to be of direct influence to each other," he said.

Richard Luckett, a seismologist from the British Geological Survey, said there has not been a spike in global seismic activity.

"If there was a big increase in the number of magnitude 6.0s in the past decade we would know it because we would see it in the statistics," Luckett said. "We haven't seen an increase in 7.0s either."

He said scientists often see strong quakes but they don't get reported because the damage or death toll is minimal. According to USGS data, the world is hit by about 134 earthquakes a year in the 6.0- to 6.9-magnitude range - or about two a week.

yawn big deal earthquakes hit, and 2012.. why would you believe in that.. here is a simple solution why the mayan calendar ends in 2012.. BECAUSE THEY GOT TIRED OF DOING MORE DATES
 
This happened with Shark attacks a couple of years back. You get one high profile earthquake and suddenly everyone pays more attention to the following earthquakes more than they would normally.

The frequency of earthquakes hasn't really changed, just the coverage that they're receiving.

The calendar is circular once it ends, it just restarts...like every other calendar ever made.
 
I'm glad to go home everyday at least a thousand miles from any major fault line. Just sayin'
 
Yea my geology teacher was talking about 2012 one day in class because someone asked her if she believed in it. And she brought up the Mayan calendar. And what she said was that about every 50 thousand years or something like that the Earths axis changes positions. And what she said some scientists were thinking is that the Mayans entered a period where this happened and didnt know an efficient way to tell time in this period. But she also said that we may experience things like solar flairs and other such phenomenon for the time that the axis of the Earth is straight up and down.
