Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff from the Science Lab from how stuff
Speaker 1: works dot com. Hey guys, and welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 1: This is Alison I don't know, the science editor at
Speaker 1: how stuff works dot com. And this is Robert Lamb,
Speaker 1: science writer at how stuff works dot com. And we're
Speaker 1: kicking off with a letter right off the bat. We
Speaker 1: sure are. And this letter comes to you compliments of
Speaker 1: one of Florida Matt and Florida Matt recently wrote us
Speaker 1: saying good morning Alison and Robert. My girlfriend is currently
Speaker 1: going to college where one of her professors told her
Speaker 1: there is a theory that one end that one day
Speaker 1: the Santa's fault will split, plummeting the West Coast into
Speaker 1: the ocean, never to be heard from again. I'm skeptical
Speaker 1: about it, but I wanted to see what you had
Speaker 1: to say. Thanks for your consideration, Love the podcast. Matt. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: you know this is actually a really popular idea, at
Speaker 1: least I mean in terms of like pop culture references
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, it's it's out there, like like, were
Speaker 1: you aware of it? Had you had you encountered this
Speaker 1: anywhere in pop culture beforehand? A little bit? Yeah? How
Speaker 1: about you? Yeah, mainly I was familiar with it out
Speaker 1: because of like there's at least one Tool song that
Speaker 1: makes reference to it a lot off of the Autuma album. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with that one. Yeah that was from
Speaker 1: back in uh in high school when that one came out, Uh,
Speaker 1: really good album. But we put the call for Facebook
Speaker 1: two people for people to come in on this y yeah,
Speaker 1: because because I just remembered that one and I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, what else is there? Because I know
Speaker 1: it's a really common thing, right so um uh. This
Speaker 1: guy Michael, who I went to high school with, by
Speaker 1: the way, said Michael from high school. He said that
Speaker 1: Jimmy Eats World song Blister had features it. Um. A
Speaker 1: guy named John told us quote escape from l A
Speaker 1: do you even have to ask? Also sometimes my dreams
Speaker 1: Oh all right, so yeah, I guess he doesn't like CALLI. Um.
Speaker 1: Heather Right mentions something called the End of the World.
Speaker 1: It's like a flash cartoon on the internet. Um uh.
Speaker 1: David mentions, uh the stand up comedy of Bill Hicks, um,
Speaker 1: which I think was also referenced on the that Tool album. Um.
Speaker 1: Valerie says, quote, I think there's a rancid song that
Speaker 1: even adds an expletive between fall into the and ocean, So, um,
Speaker 1: all right, I don't know what that expletive could be.
Speaker 1: But and then, and then one of my favorites, Warren
Speaker 1: Zyvon had a song called Desperadoes under the Eaves and
Speaker 1: there's a part in it. I think it's in the
Speaker 1: course where he's like, and if California falls into the ocean,
Speaker 1: like the mystics and statistics say it will, Like that's
Speaker 1: very nice, Robert, Well, thank you. Yeah. So, but that's
Speaker 1: the thing. Do you do the other part of the
Speaker 1: other big Warren Zevon song. Well, the weird thing is
Speaker 1: it's like, do you think that's representative? Yes? And no?
Speaker 1: Like I love that song, but like, you know, you
Speaker 1: go out to karaoke, and I'm always I don't go
Speaker 1: out to kara okay a lot, but when I do,
Speaker 1: I always check out Warren's. Vanni is one of the
Speaker 1: few artists that I like, Like, these are fun songs
Speaker 1: to sing, right, but they almost always will just have
Speaker 1: Werewolves of London, which is really more of us, Like
Speaker 1: he's kind of talking in that song and it's not
Speaker 1: really sung per se as fun as it is. And
Speaker 1: he has so many other songs that are a lot
Speaker 1: more you know, just a lot more fun to sing,
Speaker 1: like Excitable Boy or or Desperadoes under the Eaves, you know.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, and it's and he did so much
Speaker 1: other work. That's great. So Callie and Warren's that's what
Speaker 1: we bring to you today. So let's do a quick
Speaker 1: refresher on earthquakes. Yeah, because that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: That's what would cause California too, in theory, fall into
Speaker 1: the ocean. Right now, that California sin that's going on
Speaker 1: in Californization, but no California earthquakes. That's that's what we're
Speaker 1: interested in. I just I was thinking about the Chili Peppers.
Speaker 1: I was trying to think if they had referenced California
Speaker 1: falling into the ocean. That's like, I don't think, I
Speaker 1: guess not. I think I'm not that familiar with their work,
Speaker 1: but I was a huge fan Mother's Milk No Never,
Speaker 1: I mean I knew from the tracks off of it.
Speaker 1: But but anyway, it's like nobody mentioned it on Facebook,
Speaker 1: So alright, Facebook has to be right. So what's an
Speaker 1: earthquake again? You guys know this, you're probably saying it
Speaker 1: with us it's just really when the ground starts shaking
Speaker 1: beneath your feet, and what does that cause? By shaking
Speaker 1: is caused by a sudden motion in the in the
Speaker 1: plates that are all around us in the Earth's cross
Speaker 1: energy waves like moving through the cross. Right. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: pretty simple explanation. A rock jockey, you might tell you
Speaker 1: something a little different, get a little bit more into detail.
Speaker 1: And where do they happen? Right? So, earthquakes can happen
Speaker 1: anywhere anywhere anywhere, well on Earth. True, it's not just Calie,
Speaker 1: it's not just the famous Ring of Fire. Um. They
Speaker 1: do tend to concentrate in three zones, according to the
Speaker 1: United States Geological Survey. So first one, you guys are
Speaker 1: going to know this one Pacific rim Ak, the Ring
Speaker 1: of Fire, and that's responsible for more than eight percent
Speaker 1: of earthquakes. Yeah, Johnny Cash wrote a song about it,
Speaker 1: right he did. Are you gonna sing that too? Okay? Ah.
Speaker 1: There's another belt called the Alpine and that's a found
Speaker 1: in Indonesia and it kind of trails into the Atlantic.
Speaker 1: And then there's a last belt that tracks the mid
Speaker 1: Atlantic rich and it's underwater, so it's not the big one.
Speaker 1: It's not the ram of Fire. We don't hear a
Speaker 1: whole lot about that one. And it's important to note
Speaker 1: too that you know, earthquakes on TV or the ones
Speaker 1: that you know your friend is likely to tell you about,
Speaker 1: you know, at dinner is something that you feel obviously,
Speaker 1: but you don't always feel them. Sometimes they're so subtle
Speaker 1: that you'd really have to have like some some actual
Speaker 1: seismological you know, equipment to determine them. Yeah. Here in
Speaker 1: Georgia we have them. There was one in August, fifth
Speaker 1: magnitude two point two, so right, probably probably not too detectable.
Speaker 1: The eppy center of that one was close to Millageville. Somehow,
Speaker 1: I don't picture Millageville and Georgia being you know, it's
Speaker 1: like Milan filosity. The earth quake capital isn't now where
Speaker 1: that football scandal just went down. I think it was
Speaker 1: m hm, no idea. Okay, So here's another earthquake term
Speaker 1: that we should mention. Fault. Yes, when you're talking about earthquakes,
Speaker 1: a lot of times you're talking about faults. And so
Speaker 1: here's the quick definition for you, the quick, the quick
Speaker 1: and dirty. It's a fracture, really um and it's a
Speaker 1: fracture in the Earth. On either side of the Earth,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have these blocks of crust and they're moving
Speaker 1: relative to one another, parallel to the fracture. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like I always think of it when I
Speaker 1: look at an actual skull, you know, like a human
Speaker 1: skull or a model of the human skull, because they
Speaker 1: don't do it a lot of just staring at real skulls.
Speaker 1: But you know how like the skull is not one bone,
Speaker 1: it's several and you can see the different lines where
Speaker 1: they come together, and that's like the crust of the Earth. Well,
Speaker 1: today we're going to talk mainly about the San Andrea's fault.
Speaker 1: That's the big one, and it's it's really the boundary
Speaker 1: between the North American and the Pacific plates, right, and
Speaker 1: it's visible to the eye and that that's pretty cool
Speaker 1: because most of the big faults aren't. Yeah, this one
Speaker 1: is one you can you can to these really spectacular
Speaker 1: you know, aerial shots of it, and it looks like
Speaker 1: two massive, uh you know, chunks of of the the
Speaker 1: Earth's surface are rubbing against each other and causing it
Speaker 1: kind of looks like scar tissue, like geologic scar tissue,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what it is. Yeah, it's also
Speaker 1: kind of like a truugh yeah in the earth. Like
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen like Abdullah the butcher's forehead out,
Speaker 1: throw that out to the wrestling fans. That's what it
Speaker 1: looks like. It's like a gritty, starts, hard tissue. Something
Speaker 1: else that's cool about the Santa Jay as well is, um,
Speaker 1: you can literally straddle two plates, right and these these plates,
Speaker 1: these tectonic plates we're talking about, are enormous, right, they
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of land behind them or you know,
Speaker 1: to the right and the left of them, if you're
Speaker 1: going to think about it like that. Um, so near
Speaker 1: the Santa Jeria's fault, you can find you can like
Speaker 1: sit one ft on the North American plate, the other
Speaker 1: foot on the Pacific plate like Hawaii, Japan, all of that.
Speaker 1: So that's really cool. It reminds me of that spot
Speaker 1: in the United States where the four Corners where you
Speaker 1: can yeah yeah, yeah, where it's like, yeah, you get
Speaker 1: all the touristy photos of in this state, right right.
Speaker 1: So the San andre is specifically is a strike slip fault, okay,
Speaker 1: and this is uh, this is where the two plates
Speaker 1: are trying to push past each other. And if they
Speaker 1: pass one another easily, it's no big deal, right, But
Speaker 1: it's when they can't, when the plates are locked, that
Speaker 1: tension builds up and boom, you get a big earthquake,
Speaker 1: like I tend to think of like like if and
Speaker 1: don't do this because you might you know, you don't
Speaker 1: want to damage your enamel. But like when teeth are grinding,
Speaker 1: you know, like grinding your teeth, and if you would
Speaker 1: have put like so much pressure that you couldn't quite
Speaker 1: grind them, you know where it's like earthquake in your mouth. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what comes to mind when when we were looking
Speaker 1: over all this stuff. Yeah, and it's not just a
Speaker 1: strike slip fall. It's a right lateral strike slip. So
Speaker 1: let's let's set this up for you. Let's say you're
Speaker 1: standing on the North American Plate so um, with your
Speaker 1: back to New York, and you're facing the Pacific Plate.
Speaker 1: You're facing the Pacific Ocean. So the plate, the Pacific Plate,
Speaker 1: with look like it's moving to the right. Okay, So
Speaker 1: how much is it moving? That's the big question? Right, Well,
Speaker 1: not not enough to really like you're not gonna notice it,
Speaker 1: like if your house is on the fault line. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna look at and be like, whoa, there is
Speaker 1: a forest there yesterday. Now it's a desert, right, So yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not really going to notice it because it's forty
Speaker 1: six millimeters a year. That's hardly noticeable to us. But
Speaker 1: you get a big great earthquake going on, like the
Speaker 1: earthquake of nineteen o six, and you're gonna have some
Speaker 1: pretty major offsets. So according to the U s G
Speaker 1: S them, there was a road that wound up being
Speaker 1: offset by one feet. Okay, well that's noticeable. It's definitely noticeable. Um,
Speaker 1: the San Andrew's fault has been around for fifteen five
Speaker 1: million years and it's experienced a creep of about miles.
Speaker 1: That's about normal. It sounds like a lot, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it is pretty normal. Yeah. And again we're talking about
Speaker 1: the Pacific plate, the one that's um moving north with
Speaker 1: respect to the North America, and it's got some southern
Speaker 1: California on it, though not all of southern California, just
Speaker 1: like it's like a tasty strip of it, you know. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: So the Sant Andreas Fault, we haven't really told you, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, some of its geographics specifics. Yeah, it's what long. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it runs past San Francisco in the north all the
Speaker 1: way up to Mendocino, and then to the south, it
Speaker 1: runs past Los Angeles to the Sultan Sea, so roughly
Speaker 1: echoes the California coastline for much of it, but as
Speaker 1: you amble south along the fault zone, it moves more
Speaker 1: inland and you know, dividing somewhat northern California from southern California.
Speaker 1: Beneath the coast, the fault can reach up to ten
Speaker 1: miles into the ground. Ten miles into the ground, So
Speaker 1: it's deep, it is, and it's a It's another thing
Speaker 1: to keep in mind here when you talk about, well
Speaker 1: California fall into the ocean, is that the fall line
Speaker 1: we're talking about is not like they didn't like put
Speaker 1: the state boundary on the fall line or anything. It's
Speaker 1: like not even close. It's uh, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: good ways off. But I mean some parts of it
Speaker 1: really do separate, you know, California from the ocean. I
Speaker 1: mean it doesn't literally, but if you look at it
Speaker 1: on an aerial of view or just in the geographic
Speaker 1: boundary for sure, out in the northern part of it,
Speaker 1: between California and the sea. But say between California and Arizona. No, No,
Speaker 1: there's no fault line out there. I mean there's there's
Speaker 1: no fault line dividing the two states. So with that
Speaker 1: rather powerful fault line there in California, obviously there have
Speaker 1: been some some pretty powerful earthquakes over time. Right, we're
Speaker 1: talking about thousands of earthquakes occurring in California every year,
Speaker 1: and in the San Andrea's fault zone is responsible for most.
Speaker 1: So the first recorded California earthquake occurred in seventeen sixty nine. Um,
Speaker 1: there was an expedition, the gaspar da Portola Expedition, that
Speaker 1: was camped about thirty miles outside of Los Angeles, and
Speaker 1: they reported it. They reported four severe shocks. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then the most famous and destructive was, of course the
Speaker 1: ninety six earthquake, and that's technically April. Yeah, sir, this
Speaker 1: was cool. The U. S g. S, as you guys
Speaker 1: probably know, is just this amazing treasure trove of awesome info.
Speaker 1: And um, they had a link to some eyewitness accounts
Speaker 1: from that earthquake, so I wanted to read you part
Speaker 1: of one. This is from John J. Conlin, who was
Speaker 1: seven on the day of the great earthquake. Okay, are
Speaker 1: you going to do this in like an old dude voice? Well, no, seven,
Speaker 1: So well, I guess yeah. Well I'll give it my best,
Speaker 1: my best attempt. Um. Okay. So there was never any
Speaker 1: question in my mind as to the severity of the earthquake.
Speaker 1: At five thirteen on that Wednesday morning, I was awakened
Speaker 1: from a sound sleep by the shaking of my bed
Speaker 1: and the house father heard it. Flossy. Flossy is this
Speaker 1: woman who apparently assisted John J. Conlin's mom in case
Speaker 1: you guys were wondering, So father hearded Flossy, my brother
Speaker 1: and me into a doorway for protection in the event
Speaker 1: the house collapsed. Actually it was only slightly damaged within moments.
Speaker 1: During this period of the city's greatest in emergency, the
Speaker 1: unusual silence of the alarm belt told its own story.
Speaker 1: The system was destroyed, as was the functioning of the
Speaker 1: city's thirty thousand telephones. For once and tragically, so the
Speaker 1: cries of chapped victims for help generally refer to the
Speaker 1: fire department for attention could not instantly activate rescue crews.
Speaker 1: Conlin gives a lot more detail, but he winds up
Speaker 1: ending with May the children of San Francisco or any
Speaker 1: place never again enjoy such an experience as mine. But
Speaker 1: the truth is earthquakes happen all the time, and big
Speaker 1: ones happen all the time, and hundreds of thousands of people,
Speaker 1: you know, wind up losing their lives. And by the way,
Speaker 1: you mentioned standing under the doorway, and the US Geological
Speaker 1: Survey points out that that's a rather, that's an outdated
Speaker 1: notion that was based on the idea that in the
Speaker 1: old days it would shake houses down and at times
Speaker 1: that would be like the reinforced part of the house,
Speaker 1: and so that would that would be some of it,
Speaker 1: that would be what was still standing after the house
Speaker 1: came down. But they say, don't do that. All right,
Speaker 1: good information, Robert, So, I like we've given you guys
Speaker 1: a lot of preamble to the question at hand. The
Speaker 1: question posed in the podcast title is Calli're going to
Speaker 1: fall into the ocean and it will No, No, it's not.
Speaker 1: I read it wrong off the sheet. It's no, it's
Speaker 1: not going to fall into the ocean. What up? Well,
Speaker 1: because well, for several reasons. Well, first of all, it's again,
Speaker 1: like we said, the fault line. Even if the fault
Speaker 1: the fault line could magically have like the super magnitude
Speaker 1: quake that could make the make part of it fall
Speaker 1: into the ocean, it wouldn't be the whole state. And secondly,
Speaker 1: the ocean isn't deep enough. It's not just this you know,
Speaker 1: yawning hole and which we can throw entire states. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's and you know, you've seen the movie where like
Speaker 1: the earthquake makes a big hole open up and stuff
Speaker 1: falls into it and Superman is to save somebody or
Speaker 1: you know, erroneous but cool. Yeah, Yeah, it's like that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. That's again we're talking about. Fault lines are
Speaker 1: about things pushing together, grinding against each other, like your teeth.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like they're grinding together, but they're they're
Speaker 1: not opening up and rending the earth asunder. I just
Speaker 1: love saying that rending the earth asunder. It feels very biblical. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think I used to have, like when was the kid,
Speaker 1: that was like a Bible book and it had a
Speaker 1: picture of somebody being swallowed up by the earth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so California is not going to be swept up to see,
Speaker 1: but it is moving. It definitely is moving um compliments
Speaker 1: of the two plates bumping up against each other in
Speaker 1: the fault zone and seth Western California is moving slowly,
Speaker 1: very slowly. Two inches per year is one that the
Speaker 1: USGS provided towards Alaska, and it's sliding past central and
Speaker 1: eastern California. And so you know, roughly fifteen million years
Speaker 1: from now or so, Los Angeles and San Franciscan's will
Speaker 1: be neighbors. That's pretty amazing. So the super evolved squid
Speaker 1: that take over and live in Los Angeles, they will
Speaker 1: be right next door to the super evolved cockroaches that
Speaker 1: live in in San Francisco. Indeed, maybe I hope they
Speaker 1: get along. Um Brinkley Seismological Lab is also an agreement
Speaker 1: on this one, both of which are pretty good sources
Speaker 1: for you guys to check out if you're interested in
Speaker 1: exploring this more. And besides which, earthquakes are just really
Speaker 1: interesting and the U s G s it is pretty
Speaker 1: amazing when I guess and stuff, and we have a
Speaker 1: good article on how earthquakes work. Did you work on one? No?
Speaker 1: I did not. Maybe it was the brain. I think
Speaker 1: the brain. I think it may have human at least
Speaker 1: may have co authored that one. Yeah. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 1: the answer to the question. It is moving, but no,
Speaker 1: it's not going to be swept into the ocean because
Speaker 1: the ocean is a landmass in itself, albeit one with
Speaker 1: water on top of it. But it's it's just not
Speaker 1: going to swallow up California. Yeah. I think people love
Speaker 1: it though, because there's you know, people have a lot
Speaker 1: of either hatred towards California. So this is feeling of yeah,
Speaker 1: it should break off and be its own thing or
Speaker 1: or you know, drowned in the ocean. So right, and
Speaker 1: then there's a whole movement in California, you know, between
Speaker 1: northern California and southern California and being a very different mindsets.
Speaker 1: According to some residents, it feels very different in play.
Speaker 1: I mean I just actually just got back from California.
Speaker 1: My wife and I went on a vacation and we
Speaker 1: got to see like Sam Cisco in l A. Took
Speaker 1: us a lot longer to travel between the two you know,
Speaker 1: two cities now than it will millions of years in
Speaker 1: the future. But yeah, it's like like it's it feels
Speaker 1: almost like a different state and it's a huge state. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no doubt. My brother lives in San Franz. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: thanks to Florida Mike for bringing that one to our
Speaker 1: attention and for giving us inspiration for this podcast. Do
Speaker 1: you want to do some listener mail Robert, Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: got some more, UM, and it's a good podcast to
Speaker 1: do this on, since the whole episodes came from a
Speaker 1: listener mail. UM, we received an email and we were
Speaker 1: both excited about this from uh Jenna, also known as
Speaker 1: hookworm Girl by US listeners. I mean we don't call
Speaker 1: her hook well, maybe we did call her girl. I
Speaker 1: think you call um. She's lovely feet, she said us
Speaker 1: a new pictures feet, new picture of her feet, and
Speaker 1: yes they look. It's a complete turnaround from the parasite
Speaker 1: infected uh things we saw before hookworms. You can see
Speaker 1: the hookworm track center and the skin and her feet.
Speaker 1: It was pretty awesome. Yeah, now they look they look
Speaker 1: pedicured and you know, the the toenails are nice, twinkly
Speaker 1: read and I'm very very healthy looking. And so anyways,
Speaker 1: she wrote as in centensis picture and she says, this
Speaker 1: is Jenna from Vancouver. I eat Hookworm Girl. Not to
Speaker 1: be confused with the superhero, although although that might be
Speaker 1: interesting and I agree. I just wanted to let you
Speaker 1: know that I am so tickled pink every time I
Speaker 1: hear my foot mention on your podcast. Here it is
Speaker 1: getting another mention. I never would have dreamed that that
Speaker 1: picture would have made such an impression. How could it not.
Speaker 1: It's pretty gross picture to put your mind at ease,
Speaker 1: I thought I would send you a more recent foot
Speaker 1: picture and thank you again for the great podcast. I
Speaker 1: work in a lab looking for new therapeutic strategies for
Speaker 1: fighting tuberculosis, and sometimes the lack of progress being made
Speaker 1: in antibotic research can be a little terrifying. On this note,
Speaker 1: I would like to suggest a podcast on bacterial phage
Speaker 1: based therapies. Yeah. I did a little research into it
Speaker 1: after she sending her email, and I think we might
Speaker 1: have to cover that. Although we have devoted a little
Speaker 1: bit of time to bacteria recently with the whole quorum
Speaker 1: sensing and the altruistic bacteria. Yeah, we've been hitting the
Speaker 1: bacteria pretty hard. So so yeah, so anyway, thanks thanks
Speaker 1: for letting us know that your your foot is better.
Speaker 1: It's kind of become a u. The third member of
Speaker 1: the podcast, yeahs foot, Josh writes, um, what's up stuff
Speaker 1: from the science Lab. I was just listening to the
Speaker 1: Wow Signal podcast in my car. I'm currently stopped not
Speaker 1: emailing while driving good enough, and it reminded me of
Speaker 1: a SETI phenomenon that a friend of mine caught potentially um.
Speaker 1: It was around and a bunch of my nerdy friends
Speaker 1: and I were enjoying running steady at home on our
Speaker 1: computers as we're all a lot to do, you know,
Speaker 1: and an evening. Uh. Generally, the data packets that you
Speaker 1: would sift through just showed random noise. But for a
Speaker 1: brief period during one day, a friend of mine was
Speaker 1: receiving perfect waves. They were so perfect against the unusual
Speaker 1: randomness that he shot a few emails with screenshots to
Speaker 1: let Setty people know, UH to check check it out.
Speaker 1: A week or so later, he got a cryptic email
Speaker 1: back claiming some unusual interference from something suspicious and was
Speaker 1: told just to disregard it. Perhaps just because this is
Speaker 1: so awesome, this gives me, this is my new favorite
Speaker 1: listener email. Just perhaps just because conspiracies are fun. We've
Speaker 1: always held onto the belief that we just happened to
Speaker 1: see something that they didn't want us to see. They
Speaker 1: in caps all caps. No, I don't think he did
Speaker 1: put it in all caps, but that's how I imagine it.
Speaker 1: Of course, nothing has come of it in the intervening
Speaker 1: eleven years, so who knows. I love your podcast more
Speaker 1: than I can express, and I hastily written email on
Speaker 1: my phone. It keeps me a company for the six
Speaker 1: to eight hours I spend in the car every day.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's a long time. Please continue doing it forever.
Speaker 1: We will do it at least as long as it
Speaker 1: takes for Los Angeles to be creep right up to
Speaker 1: San Francisco. So I mean, you knows from beyond the grave,
Speaker 1: if you're really locking us in there, well, with all
Speaker 1: that you know science going on, we could, you know,
Speaker 1: we could live forever, Robert and record podcasts for more
Speaker 1: on this and thousands of other topics. Is that how
Speaker 1: stuff works dot Com? Want more house? We hope that's
Speaker 1: a happy in your house. Tell us about cheery sperience
Speaker 1: with earthquakes or um alien signals? Yeah, yeah, And we're
Speaker 1: on science stuff at house to works dot com, and
Speaker 1: of course on social networking. You can find us on
Speaker 1: Facebook We're stuff from the Science Lab, and over on Twitter.
Speaker 1: R l as a tweet master, so we're lap stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's all we got today. Thanks for listening.
