		<description>It&#039;s a good way to demonstrate the absurdity of his claims, but I can&#039;t help but think there are going to be some who use the &quot;poking a hornets nest&quot; argument. They&#039;ll say we should just let these people keep saying and doing absurd things and get away with it unchecked.</description>

		<description>A. Women should run naked on Monday, April 26, to truly push Allah.
B.  Actually, Allah might just wait a few months to obfuscate the cause-effect.
C.  Women should nonetheless still run naked on Monday, April 26, just to make Monday special.</description>

		<description>No no! This isn&#039;t going to work! These women have to &quot;corrupt the chastity of young men and spread adultery in the world&quot; for this to be proved.


If there are any women out there who would like to try corrupting my chastity and spreading some adultery my way I could help in this experiment...</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve spoken to some conservative religious types, and they assure me that even adulterous THOUGHTS are sinful and dangerous (That whole &quot;thou shalt not covet&quot; thing in the commandments).  I&#039;ve also spoken to women who feel that husbands viewing porn is equivalent to adultery.  So really, there&#039;s no excuse for everyone not participating on Monday!

If the women out there are doing their part(s), then by God I&#039;m going to have at least one impure thought.  I might even accidentally click on, well, let&#039;s face it, most anything, these days...

Ahhh, boobies!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve always wanted to do an experiment to see whether having women wearing veils in the workplace improves the productivity of male workers. (In that it&#039;s another Islamic claim that gets frequently repeated, is empirically testable, and yet never actually gets tested.)</description>

		<description>Boobs? Uterus? Ann Coulter&#039;s Adams Apple? and USGS placenta helper - Oh my

Jen McCreight is like Marc â€˜Skeptic Tankâ€™ Morano for both using their feminine sexuality for a liberal fembottized Mother Nature that reduces our freedoms, increasing our taxes to help the poor outside gated communities, and clean the air as it passes through the chain-link fence outside of ExxonMobil!  It was bad enough for Morano to dress up like â€œfuzzball of Haitian loveâ€™ Limbaughâ€™s pilonidal cyst in http://www.esquire.com/features/marc-morano-0410?click=esq_new prior to the icelandic volcano blowing.  Now, Sarah â€˜immaquiterâ€™ Palin aka Armageddon Barbie and her T-bagger Army of Darkness have sorta proved that recent Tennessee quakes are caused by her hunk-a-hunk-a-burning love for hatred and greed.  See the ~ last submission under â€œRobert Rhodes ... Learning the real meaning of â€œIf the trailer is rocking, donâ€™t come knocking ...â€œ

		<description>&lt;i&gt;&quot;I suppose there are plenty of reasons to find fault with the stunt, but the one that stands out to me is that Boobquake isn&#039;t accurately testing Sedighi&#039;s theory. It&#039;s not immodest dress alone that leads to earthquakes, he says, but the adultery that spreads through society because of immodest dress. So, there&#039;s really two claims that have to be tested here: First, does immodest dress really lead to adultery? And, second, does adultery lead to earthquakes? Somehow, I&#039;m guessing that Everybody Cheat on Your Significant Other Monday wouldn&#039;t go over quite as well as Boobquake.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Hum. Given Sedighi&#039;s brand of morality, having any kind of sex outside a traditional marriage probably counts as &quot;adultery&quot;. See how he goes on from &quot;corrupting chastity&quot; to adultery. 

Obviously, then, science demands that hundreds and thousands of consenting adults test this &quot;theory&quot; on Monday, in lots of practical and creative ways. Let human imagination lead research!</description>

		<description>While I certainly don&#039;t want to discourage women from &quot;dressing immodestly&quot; on Monday, or any other day, I should point out that several earthquakes happen around the world each and every day.  So there&#039;s bound to be at least one earthquake on Monday that the wacko fundies can point to as &quot;evidence&quot; that immodesty causes earthquakes.  Besides, the guy claimed that it was adultery that caused earthquakes, not immodesty &lt;i&gt;per se&lt;/i&gt; (immodesty is supposedly just the first step down the slippery slope).  So, I&#039;m not sure how you could test or disprove that empirically.

Besides, I thought it was supposedly Voodoo pacts with the devil that caused earthquakes.  Or our toleration of homosexuality (which, according to the good folks at Westboro Baptist Church is responsible for all the bad things that happen in the world).  I really wish these religious extremists would get together and decide once and for all exactly which sins cause which natural disasters.  Otherwise it sounds almost as if they&#039;re just making it all up as they go along.</description>

		<description>In the absence of a control planet, can we settle for just having a control Monday?  Looks like the last significant seismic activity was a magnitude 4.9 in Utah on Thursday of last week, so this past Monday might work.  It was partly cloudy and mid-60s in Pasadena, so there wasn&#039;t a heck of a lot of exposed skin out here, which led to lowered libidinous behavior, which accounts for the flat seismographs of the day, I guess.  Let&#039;s see what happens this coming Monday.

Funny thing: of the last 8 significant earthquakes, fully half of them have occurred on Tuesdays.  Those damned, godless Tuesdays...</description>

		<description>I certainly hope there is a huge quake in the whole area, with mile-deep clefts and gorges forming in the streets, and later, it is discovered on satellite photos: huge flaming letters of burst pipeline and gratuitous lava : This Is Not How Science Works </description>

		<description>First of all, immodest dress certainly can lead to adultery. And adultery leads to more adultery. And if all that adultery is with the same woman, then the immodest dress leads to jealousy. And if the jealous person is Lex Luthor then, yes, it leads to earthquakes.</description>

		<description>I am all for large groups of people dressing immodestly and flaunting what they&#039;ve got, but this will not convince Sedighi that he is wrong, nor will it convince anyone who believes him. Even a properly controlled experiment would not convince them: evidence and rational arguments are unlikely to sway people who arrived at their beliefs through faith and irrational arguments in the first place.

There is actually a reasonably good chance that this will backfire: if there is an earthquake somewhere in the world in the following days, weeks, or even months (which, of course, is virtually guaranteed to happen no mater what) believers are likely to take that as evidence that Sedighi was right. Even if the earthquake occurs far away, weeks later, and in an earthquake-prone place, believers will still take it as confirmation of their belief. If, by sheer chance, a serious earthquake happens within hours or days of the demonstration, it will be seen as an even stronger sign from God and even more damning evidence that Sedighi is right.

Even if this were conducted as a proper controlled scientific experiment and not a stunt, it won&#039;t change anyone&#039;s mind, except perhaps to further entrench existing beliefs.

		<description>Gay readers, please remember that other religious zealots have claimed that Being Gay causes earthquakes, so please refrain from gayness on Monday so as not to corrupt the data.  Thank you for your cooperation.   We are specifically testing Immodest Women. </description>

		<description>Regarding adultery, it&#039;s been my experience that most fundamentalist groups/religions consider even looking at another person in a lustful way as adultery. When I was younger I went to a pretty out there youth group, and they called it &quot;committing adultery in your heart.&quot; So I don&#039;t think everyone actually needs to have sex outside of marriage for that part to be taken care of. </description>

		<description>Improper use of the word &#039;theory&#039;. OK, seems trivial but this type of usage is what confuses the Creationists and perpetuates scientific bullshit. </description>

		<description>I think a more positive and helpful way to react to such a absurd statement would be to donate funds to the women of need in that area.

A boobquake is just a means to laugh at an absurdity while also dismissing the real seriousness of these kind of claims with sexuality, which is probably the most base and cheap way to prove a scientific point true. Also, a predictable one.</description>
