    The interesting thing about this though, is earthquakes in California tend to stay isolated to California due to the geology there, whereas quakes that happen in the eastern US can affect larger areas because the rock structure allows vibrations to travel farther. For example, there was a 6.0 quake in California back in 2004 that was mainly felt by Californians, maybe some on the edge of Oregon and Nevada as well. In 2011 though there was a 5.8 quake in Virginia that was felt as far north as Ottawa, Canada, and as far south as Florida, I'm in southwestern ontario and remember hearing things rattle on shelves and thinking at first that a large truck drove by the apartment. A relatively strong quake in California would cause a decent amount of destruction in a small area though considering all that's in California it would still be very costly, however a strong quake on the east could potentially do a lot more widespread damage.

    All right, but I was speaking of intensity within the zone of effect, rather than extent of the zone of effect. Rattling the windows and shelves is barely worth noticing. It's when things start falling OFF the shelves that there is danger (in which case you want to duck and cover so that none of it hits you).


  2. Having lived in earthquake country all of my life (California, then Japan, then California again), My instinct is that unless there's a danger of something falling down (e.g. those fragile vases on your shelf), then it's hardly even worth a second thought.

    Panel 1: Probably a good idea to tell those people, then. Also Nanase and Edward are about the same height (depending on what shoes they're wearing).

    Yes. Considering that Nanase admits to being five feet four inches, if she isn't wearing shoes higher than his, then Edward is not more than five feet seven. Now we know where Tedd gets his shortness genes from.

    Edward likely couldn't detect her magic and that's what gave away the fact she's Immortal, Adrian had also mentioned that it would be a bad idea for an immortal to pose as someone known to be a powerful wizard in front of someone who could detect magic potency. Supposedly everyone has some magic energy and could potentially awaken and use magic, so a distinct lack of detectable magic energy would suggest something else.

    It may be that an Immortal's magical aura is SO undetectable that they look like a magical "void" (i.e. a space where there is too LOW a magic level to possibly be a living humanoid). Scanning for magic and coming across an Immortal would thus be kind of like viewing the scene in thermal-band infrared and seeing that she has NO body heat.


  5. In real-life genetics, brown/black hair is dominant over blonde. Let "B" represent a gene for brown/black hair, and "b" for blonde. If both parents are "Bb", then one-fourth of possible genetic combinations will be "bb". Thus, two parents who have dark hair but both carry genes for lighter hair could produce blonde children.

    Rhoda rocks the Misato Katsuragi look...

    Hmm, EGS cast cosplaying as Neon Genesis Evangelion characters . . . who would wear what costume? I can imagine Nanase as Asuka (redhead, prides herself on being a top fighter/protector and top student) . . . who else?
