People saying it lasted "minutes", people further away from the epicentre
then I talking about how it shook everything... as I've said elsewhere -
house went up, house came down.
Really though it was all the news stories that were amusing me. CCTV
footage of the event "the camera shakes violently" um take a camera in
your hand now gently oscillate it up and down and side-to side; ooh yeah
violent.

Dream-wise it's been pretty quiet in my head recently (which is a good
thing) I didn't even get anything out of the sudden awakening due to
earthquake. Currently I go to bed, everything goes dark, then everything
goes light as I wake up and wait a couple of minutes for my alarm to go
off... I guess the alien abductors have switched to a different formula :-P

I wouldn't depend on it, I never found out if my strategy was effective!

Have a stilton nightcap. Guaranteed to get hot and cold running
dinosaurs in both frontal lobes.

I don't know, I'm sure our government would make you Consultant in Charge
of Dinosaur Attacks given that level of experience.

Wouldn't help you much, although I expect you'd get a generous
no-win-no-fee payout. "Have you been mauled by a ravening dinosaur, at
home or at work? Was it somebody else's fault? Maybe you qualify... "

Oo I could feature as one of the 'victims' - 'I slipped on the floor at
work and got a big fat payout leaving my company bankrupt and my
colleagues unemployed'

You both might wish to purchase some of my live dinosaur repellent powder. I can
almost guarantee that it works.
I have been running a trial in Piccadilly Circus for the last five years and
there has been no reports of live dinosaurs recently.

You mean you slipped whilst attempting to roundhouse the aforementioned
slavering sauropod? Or just generally? What the hell, you ain't gotta
work for six months either way - moneymoneymoneymoney

I mean it seemed so outrageous that I didn't even *try* to figure out
whether it was 'shopped. Not being a graphics professional, it actually
takes me effort to find inconsistencies in such things.
Now, ask me to crash a program, and I'm right on it. ;-)
