I should have read ahead.  This is a heck of a load of manure.
None of his words make sense together.  He understands none of the words he
uses.  I cannot comment on any of it, since it is a huge un-ending ocean
of drivel.  I could write a computer program to associate nouns and verbs
randomly, but grammatically correct, and feed it a technical dictionary,
and it would generate exactly the same stuff.

I love B movies!  This guy obviously writes them.  I wondered who did that.
Anybody remember the male alien's monologue at the end of "Plan 9 from
Outer Space" before the fire starts on the UFO?  Striking similarities
to this!  I think we've found a positive correlation here.

Oh man, the B-movie Sci-Fi text just keeps on running.  Hey, anybody
in movies reading this?  I think there's enough fuel here for several
top-rated "Bad Movie" flicks.  Just think of the take in the video
and UHF TV profits!  I can see it now, "The Killer Quake from Beyond Space",
"I Spit on Your Quantum Vector" "Debbie does Resonance" (oh, that last one
was already done under the title "Orgy of the Dead").

Stuff like this.  Amazing!  How does he do it?  I've read mounds of
pseudo-science, and I could never spew rivers of complete nonsense the way
this guy does.  And he does it with such seeming confidence.  And he never
gives into the urge to crack a joke.

Show me just one photo of earthquake lights.  "Often photographed" indeed.

This is a new one.  I have never heard this sensation reported even in the
looniest of reports.

Sadly, few lives were spared in Tangshan.  It was the most destructive
quake in terms of human lives ever.  the estimates run from about 400,000
to 800,000 dead.  It's a shame he tries to use such a disaster in his
drivel.  I ain't laughing here.  Just think - that's about as many as died
in our Civil War.  It's more than dies in all Korean, Vietnam, etc, conflicts.
It is more than have died in all other quakes in history combined.  It is more
than were killed by the atomic bomb.  It's a huge, monstrous, inconceivable
death toll.  And it wasn't even a large city by Chinese standards.  No, I
don't think that many were saved by quake lights.  I wish it were true.

Earthquake weather, eh?  Not likely.  Seismologists have looked for a link
there as well - there is none.  Earthquake weather is whatever weather
occurs during a quake.
