An Iranian cleric declared on Friday that women who don't dress modestly cause earthquakes, so an american girl set up a facebook group in order to prove him wrong by attempting a 'boobquake' on Monday 26th April. 100,000 people joined the group with the intention of wearing low cut tops or skimpy shorts in order to disprove the clerics idea.
Unfortunately there was a 6.5 quake off the coast of Tiawan at 10:59am, so maybe the guy had a point ;) (timezone differences and the fact there is pretty much a quake somewhere every day spoils the theory, but still amusing)
