You see, britains earthquakes over the last century add up to about a 7.0 in total. One hurricane. No tornadoes.

Nice and quiet.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Actually...Ohio gets earthquakes too. Granted, the last fairly big one was in 1952 (near Zanesville), but they've also had others in recent history, both in eastern and western Ohio (1875, 1884, 1926,1930, 1931, 1937 [several, all in March], and 1943).  The most recent was on June 30, 2004 (near Cleveland). It was magnitude 3.3.

Most Ohio earthquakes just do things like knock chimneys down and break plaster, knock things off walls. Not too many truly earth-shattering ones. But they do happen.

Normally, you'd expect someone to pray, or to try bashing the door in.  Instead, the idea popped into her head: "What would MacGyver do?"

I think this is intresting and I have actualy said that phrase to myself a few times.  I don't think it's so much something you apply from what you saw in the show... I think "What MacGyver would do" has just become a mental "code word" for Creative problem sloving
