Warnings about impending tsunami on 22 July 2009

From an email, of which I've received a few times.

Below is the content on the message:

"Hello there. I just wanted 2 let you know that please stay away from the beaches all around in the month of July. There is a prediction that there will be another tsunami hitting on July 22nd. It is also when there will be sun eclipse. Predicted that it is going 2 be really bad and countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit. Please try & stay away from the beaches in July. Better 2 be safe than sorry. Please pass the word around & Please pray for all beings."

Here's a link to prove that this email is not a hoax.

Yeah, better be safe than be sorry. It's as simple as don't go to the beaches. Or, if the sun eclipse do happen, let's watch it. Haha.

Anyway, do pass this word on.

But then, I got this comment from an anonymous reader: "yes and the theory that the email is a hoax is also inside the link you posted".

Ah well... So, let's wait and see whether it's a joke or something.

I've also received this email actually [and I deleted it right away xD]. I've read both your blogpost and the link you gave. I do think it won't happen.

That tthutm gave a good explanation that the gravity of the sun and of the moon is only able to create high tides.

Perhaps the prediction of earthquake may be true but if the cause is eclipse...ahem, sorry. lols

and yea btw, i prefer the previous comment style where I can read your post and comment in the same window than this open-new-window style.. Hmm.. my personal preference...

Haha. I like this pop-up style because I can move this pop-up window around my screen and will still be able to view my post while commenting.
