Challenge anti-woman religious fundamentalism -- for science!

Remember that krazy kleric who said that female immodesty causes earthquakes? "Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes," says a senior Muslim cleric in Iran, where earthquakes have killed thousands upon thousands of people since the Islamic revolution.

It's woman hate and bad science all wrapped up in one ridiculous comment. So maybe my women readers would be interested in participating in a global event that will either bring on the seismological endtimes or teach a few people about the geology of earthquakes -- or maybe give all our male friends righteous hard-ons: Boobquake!

On Monday, April 26th, I will wear the most cleavage-showing shirt I own. Yes, the one usually reserved for a night on the town. I encourage other female skeptics to join me and embrace the supposed supernatural power of their breasts. Or short shorts, if that's your preferred form of immodesty. With the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake. If not, I'm sure [krazy kleric] Sedighi can come up with a rational explanation for why the ground didn't rumble. And if we really get through to him, maybe it'll be one involving plate tectonics.

Three cheers to Jen McCreight!
