But where did these information came from? It's really scary, i admit...?

Question

I mean the information saying that Philippines will have an earthquake on JULY 18, 2008, w/ a magnitude of 8.1....so im wondering where did these came from??

Answer 1

What info?

Answer 2

This is mythology and folklore, and while although the information your present is in somewhat form of a prediction, I would suggest you take it to an environmental.science part of yahoo, because I honestly have no clue what you are talking about.Scientist can predict earthquakes and roughly what their magnitude is, but they can't predict an exact date.i would probably be prepared for an earthquake just in case, getting a kit out and what not.

Answer 3

FAIL!

Answer 4

What information?

Answer 5

your question seems to be lacking some info bud... mythology and folklore supposedly came from superstitions fears and events that could not be explained until much later... religions and beliefs at the time also played a large part in creating myths and folklore. in some cases myths and folklore were created just to be a tool to teach others how or how not to behave... hanzel and grettel for example was a story that could be considered the equivalent of the "dont go anywhere with strangers" that parents teach their kids...

Answer 6

it's more odd than scary

Answer 7

I just searched on that and it doesn't seem to be a big deal outside of the Philippines. Maybe some local person started a rumor.

Thats probably all it is.

The only other big prediction I can think of is the Mayan calendar thing where the world is supposed to end in 2012.

I'll be worried for them all day Friday.

Good luck.
