  1. pablovirus says:

    OMG

  2. Admiral Apparent says:

    It’s not my fault.

  3. professor says:

    yeah baby

  4. k-k-k-katy says:

    Whoops, forgot to change my name back! There we go.

  5. pssvr says:

    Their observations should recognize … yeah.

  6. MNM says:

    Orly????

  7. Fuji Yama Staff Member says:

    That is one of the most phenomenally insightful things I’ve ever heard.

    I’m rethinking my plans to retire to an island in the Carib.

  8. sam says:

    i dont get it…

  9. ??? says:

    and here I thought it was those pesky fault lines…
    I must just be overlooking the obvious

  10. loz says:

    oh now i get it…

  11. Amanda says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    And to think those Scientist needlessly spent all those years and all that money on their degree and the answer was as simple as that!

  12. failurepeople says:

    what if half of us move out????

  13. Lunne says:

    It’s another government conspiracy! First the sprinkler rainbows, now this. When will the madness stop!?

    • Lora_Vine says:

      Maybe they can reduce the damage of CA sinking into the sea by reducing the sea! If all those people in CA grab a bucket, go to the ocean, fill it with water and pour it down the sink, the water level will go down!

    • Conspirator says:

      I think Evolution is conspiring against us by deliberately not killing off all of the stupid people!

      • Brandon_ha says:

        no we did that ourselves. Health care has replaced gene pool chlorine with environmentally friendly algae suppressants instead.

        • Maskdt says:

          Methinks it might be time to toss a shark in the gene pool….
          …and I just realized how that could be taken in a seriously disturbing way that’s wrong on many levels. Oh well, I stand by it.

  14. Mariepat says:

    o wow and i was thinking that it was those fault lines sill me!

  15. Mookie says:

    No wonder this country is in trouble.

  16. Rogue says:

    That’s right up there with the one about too many people flushing toilets is causing the oceans to rise.

  17. Sprite101 says:

    So if they all jump at the same time Lex Luthor doesn’t hafto nuke Nevada?

  18. AuctionMan says:

    The scariest part is that the writer seems to be referring to Al Gore as a “master scientist”.

  19. Islands... says:

    Poor Japan =(

  20. DonCione says:

    what if they all jumped up and down at once! america could maybe even tip completely over!!!

  21. Asinus says:

    Don’t forget the rainbows either. This expansion is a result of the water making room for the rainbow additives. As a result all the ground surrounding the area has become brittle.

  22. Nixorbo says:

    North Jersey and NYC must be on the brink of collapsing into the Atlantic.

    A man can dream …

  23. Mars says:

    THATS WIE I LIKE KATS.

  24. Blue2thFairy says:

    If you buy that, I’ve got some ocean-front property in Arizona…

  25. Ganoush says:

    Isn’t the edge of California just as buoyant as the rest of the continent? Take Hawaii for example…

  26. Zurack says:

    It makes perfect sense, everybody knows that the world is made of 97.2% water, because the “ground” is just a thin layer of earth. And that’s why they move with time, sloow, but they still move.

  27. jasonhenle says:

    oh goodness no!, it makes me sad to hear such a farse.

  28. dlauthor says:

    Sadly, I think this may be a ham-fisted bit of right-wing sarcasm, and not just garden-variety stupidity. I think this guy’s trying to make a faulty analogy with man-made global warming, by claiming it’s as silly to believe that as to believe that the presence of people could cause the San Andreas Fault. Or something. At least, that’s the vibe I get from this.

  29. Matador says:

    Sarchasm detection fail.

  30. Dom says:

    Why is this a fail? It looks like a sarcasm WIN to me.

  31. lostvoid says:

    My head hurts now… I need a stiff drink!

  32. slaggingham says:

    Obviously a joke. I mean, the poster’s name is “ahab de arab.”

    Due diligence fail.

    As an aside… California really is to blame for almost everything. The housing bubble – worse there than anywhere. Also, hippies.

  33. tscheez says:

    hahahaha

    by his logic, Manhattan should have sunk in to the ocean by now.

  34. Notu says:

    Sounds about right…now where is my chew?

  35. madhatt3r1 says:

    Those people killed my baby!

  36. theman says:

    I don’t know which is worse, considering Al Gore a “master scientist” or thinking the US is a big raft that can be sunk by a few Californians…

  37. Bo says:

    My country is below sea level. Thanks to Ahab here I finally figured it out. We simply have too many people!

  38. quantumnerd says:

    Wow. Did you know that I can’t shave with my Razer mouse? This inconsistency may be responsible for the underground soil erosion causing this.

    Who is eroding the soil underneath us? The lucky charms dude! Those stupid kids won’t leave him alone.

  39. Bo says:

    Maybe we all should get a bucket of water out of the ocean and put it in the sink at home. Then the ocean won’t be so deep when all you edge-people fall in.

  40. boogeyman says:

    hay waz up poeple whta is up

  41. Wormulon says:

    of course!! *slaps head* its all so obvious now!

    i LOVE that they post this in an “I’m so intelligent” manner. Reminds me of people I know….

  42. CowboyDenver says:

    Al Gore and “the likes” probably haven’t figured out that the Earth is FLAT either!

  43. BillGama says:

    That means China will sink right into the ocean! Oh noes! :O

  44. Mookie says:

    That explains what happened to Atlantis.

    • Skwerlly Bob says:

      No!

      You see, Atlantis was a Beautiful Shining City full of Lovely Peaceful Intelligent People and the rest of the Earth was not. Horrible Mean Nasty Ugly and Warlike Aliens came from far far far out into the Galaxy looking for new worlds to conquer. The Atlantisians fought back and eventually sacrificed themselves and their island so that the rest of us total idiots, (their point of view), could continue living in bliss and ignorance. Intelligent Squirrels were left behind with all of Atlantis’ Knowledge to guide mankind into the future. But Skwerlly Fred dropped it and we’ve been scampering about ever since looking for the Knowledge Capsule. Have you seen it? It kinda looks exactly like an acorn.

  45. Wag says:

    Thank God for the obesity epidemic in middle America balancing things out.

  46. failbomber says:

    WHY?!?! WHY MUST PEOPLE BE SO STUPID?!?!

    • Skwerlly Bob says:

      Oh! I get it! That’s one of then rhetorical questionny thingies.

      • Skwerlly Bob says:

        Dang mispelled somethimg, I’ll fix it before Loz attackes:

        Oh! I gets it! That’s one of them rhetorical questiony thingies.

        • raelalt says:

          Skwerlly Bob: “I’ll fix it before Loz attackes:”
          .
          Throwing in and extra ‘e’ is not going to save you. Now if you had added a ‘u’…

        • thepowerofblue says:

          “When Loz Attacks” sounds like one of those FOX reality shows, like “When Things Happen Near A Video Camera” or “World’s Most Shocking Stock Footage.”

          • Skwerlly Bob says:

            I was once in an episode of “When Things Happen Near A Video Camera!”

            I was the squirrel that jumped out of the Trash Bin scaring a teenager, John D. Greer, III, to death! But it was poetic justice since he had just jumped into a Vending Machine at Sheffield City Hall and stolen all the chips he was tossing away. He was a troubled child whose mom had just gotten divorced, he’d been turned down at Linen & Things for employment and his grandfather had 300 parishioners very mad at him.

        • Random Lurker says:

          “Somethimg.”

          Spell-correction fail.

          As for Atlantis, do you think it was Xemu?

    • Bobsy says:

      Nah, it’s just a troll – the grammar and spelling are too good for it to be written by someone dumb enough to actually believe it.

    • thelousloo@lj says:

      its the faults fault

  47. Diega says:

    sarcasm detection fail….

  48. Ashley says:

    xD

    Honestly though, it does make a certain sort of sense. If you have a sheet of cardboard laying across a table. And you put something on the edge of it, eventually its going to either bend the cardboard, or it will slide off… *I* know thats not how it works with earthquakes, but perhaps thats how they are thinking about it…

    • Skwerlly Bob says:

      HUH? “thinking” Nah, they were just spouting crap to look smart, I know!

      Many studies show that people, who just spout crap to look smart, aren’t actually smart enough to understand what they said. They just wanna get laid or sound cool and learned.

      So Ashley? Want to discuss this further over at my place?

  49. Mookie says:

    This sounds like a crackpot theory to me.

  50. Skwerlly Bob says:

    Well, both of them are “way out there,” man, but the pot theory is more mellow, man. Here……….

  51. raelalt says:

    Damn, now we are over the one page limit. Man what a royal pain in the ass!

  52. Gorgonzola says:

    since creationism is taught in school more and more people seem to think the world is a disk…
    OMG, we all gonna fall into the ocean.
    y dont they explant the brains when born – we dont use it anyway!

  53. teacher says:

    Teacher sez –

    His justification for earthquakes is off, but he’s absolutely correct that coastal areas are more prone to quakes than ones farther inland. California, Chile, Japan, etc… are all on major fault lines.

    Weak fail.

  54. FacialTurd says:

    Sounds like a joke to me.

  55. Nova says:

    I really hope this guy was joking.

  56. Erin says:

    I am amazed that people are actually this stupid…

  57. Limrasson says:

    Well…landmasses can go under sea but…that’s kinda slow…and surely can’t ‘fall’ into the ocean…

  58. DeepThinkerSarcasticSpeaker says:

    Wow, and we’ve managed to totally ignore the fact that the land is on plates that float on lava. Congratulations–this rates right up there with the five-hundred-year-old-universe theory and Anti-Gravity Association for fact ignorance.

  59. Batlaxe says:

    Maybe, just maybe, if we get everyone in north america and south america to jump at the same time lets say Noon CST we can shift the earth farther from the sun as well. Global Warming solved. It holds about as much water as people being to heavy for the western seaboard.

  60. Jennifer says:

    I thought the gays were what caused all those earthquakes? The Mormons told me it would stop if I voted Yes on 8.

  61. B. says:

    I’m doing my part. I’m fat and I cant stand this shitty socialist state, so I’m moving in March.

    Lookout South Carolina! Earthquakes are coming!

  62. Typhron says:

    Oh noes! What if someone pokes a hole in the land?!

    It’ll be catastrophic!

  63. KaBooM says:

    I’m surprised this asshole even knew how to use a computer!

  64. Wolf Seril says:

    Its called satire, idiots.

    He was making fun of Al Gore.

  65. asdfasdf says:

    someone have been watching that 10.5 movie too much

  66. pootpoot says:

    If THIS isn’t too stupid to not be fake I don’t know what is.

  67. thepowerofblue says:

    OK, I just thought of three different Incubus jokes for this thread, but I get the feeling that I’m running the risk of becoming like that one-trick Led Zepplin guy.

  68. Me says:

    I think he was joking.

  69. Matt says:

    I’m saddened by this…obviously someone didn’t pay attention in school

  70. Marni says:

    obviously this moron has never heard of plate tectonics and the fact that the lithosphere (including the continental crust) is roughly 100km deep of solid rock and mineral, and beside the fact that the san andreas fault runs right through the state. ‘I feel therefore I’m right’ way of thinking. fucking moron!

  71. Phaet says:

    That makes sence

  72. jus10 says:

    knowledge of geology fail?

  73. PDXCHawk says:

    Let me guess, that poster attends a lot of tractor pulls and belives pro wresting is real. Amirite?

  74. Nizzle says:

    To be honest, I don’t think this person is serious. I think they are pretending to be an idiot just to get on failblog… which is even mroe pathetic

  75. ely says:

    Im surprised south Florida doesnt have more “earthquakes” due to the high population!

  76. Chloe Kaulitz says:

    and thats what happens when you TRY to sound smart and fail, dumbass

  77. tcindie says:

    This is about as realistic a theory as global warming being caused by man. :)
    I like it.

    It’s very obviously sarcasm (sad so many people didn’t pick up on that fact)

  78. Me says:

    EPIC SARCASM DETECTION FAIL.

  79. Diego - Sphink says:

    It’s true! I saw it on TV! There was this coyote trying to catch a road runner…

  80. Mandy says:

    No, that one makes sense.

  81. Leoric says:

    NO, NO!!… this isn’t true… the earthquakes are due to Lex Luther setting off explosion in the fault lines, so that when California falls off his real estate values will go up. He tried with a Nuclear missile once… but Superman stopped him…

  82. Z says:

    Quantum gravity, fools…….

  83. googles49 says:

    My head hurts just reading that!!!

  84. pwndu232 says:

    It’s obivious that this person never saw the Original Superman movie. Or they would now that it’s all Lex Luthors FAULT. (get it?)

  85. Preston says:

    WOW… im thinking back to the yahoo answers question where someone asks how do you make your monitor into a mirror saying they tried scanning a mirror and it didnt work. or the video with the woman in her back yard claiming somethings wrong with the water because a rainbow can bee seen when she turns on her water sprinkler (in full sunlight). its things like these that reassures me that i have had a decent edu-whatca-ma-call-it.

  86. Nick says:

    “One great big festering neon distraction,
    I’ve a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

    Learn to swim.

    Cuz I’m praying for rain
    And I’m praying for tidal waves
    I wanna see the ground give way.
    I wanna watch it all go down.
    Mom please flush it all away.
    I wanna watch it go right in and down.
    I wanna watch it go right in.
    Watch you flush it all away.”

  87. Kev says:

    Sarcasm… the ingenious type of humour so hated by America only. This poster Ahab is genious lol!

    Love it! Although from his post it isn’t his fail, it is win for sarcasm!

  88. pw says:

    well the article is by ahabdearab
    which is Ahab de Arab…
    so its fake…
    still funny

  89. Oops says:

    More like a failure to recognize awesome sense of humour

  90. Joe says:

    I didn’t realize people took the National Enquirer seriously.

  91. Tom says:

    wat an absolute idiot

  92. Natalie says:

    Another example of the average IQ falling 10 points every 30 or so years, how sad!

  93. frogman says:

    You’re A Genius! (you idiot…)
