A 7.1 magnitude earthquake has rocked the New Zealand city of Christchurch this morning, turning the CBD into something resembling a warzone.

The city swayed for a full two minutes, damaging several historic buildings and destroying many homes.

No fatalities have been confirmed so far, but local hospitals are overrun with patients dealing with minor to serious injuries.

The city’s drag diva stalwart Miss Mole was quick to tell her many friends on Facebook that she was OK after the shake.

“My poor city, you should see it,” the gay event hostess typed. “Everyone is safe and okay, but our city is in ruins!

“Life is strange. One minute I’m at a party, the next I’m in bed, next I’m running outta my unit as it’s crashing around… all in a few minutes.

“Life has changed. My best friends here are all okay – and that’s the main thing. But I’ll never forget running out of my house as it’s about to come down.”

The NZ Herald website is being regularly updated with news of the Christchurch quake.

I grew up in Napier and i hate to say it... but it is over due for another big quake alot of Napier is perched on top of a hill and would be a worse disaster than Christchurch me thinks...although it was rebuilt after the 1931 quake(hence the art deco) i would like to think it was made more earth quake proof but visiting there last year i made a point of looking at the houses on the hill and not much could save them from tumbling into the ocean! thank god no one was killed in this lastest quake.. this time any way!

my mother who is now 90 was in the Napier earth quake of 1931.. it was the first day of school and the kids were still outside when the quake struck .. just as well as the school was smashed to bits... the fires that followed did just as much damage as there was no water pressure to fight the fires. Napier gets little quakes all the time scary when your not used to it!

My only regret is that the entire island didn't sink.

I was told that the people of Japan have so many earthquakes that they build their houses of bamboo and the walls are made of paper stretched and strengthened with a glue called 'dope'.

(This is one of the million pieces of misinformation I was told by schoolteachers from the NSW Dept of Education)

The pedo across the road told me that if I sucked his cock I'd have magical powers.

Sometimes- you can only blame yourself for being so gullible

Awww- that made me have a sad.

Seriously.

I realise it's not fashionable to care more about the coccyx region of sheep- but I loathe humans. Especially when they are children

dithche said on the 7th Sep, 2010

Light-Bearer

Light-Bearer said on the 7th Sep, 2010

I have heard the sheep there are better looking than the general population and fucking them is highly recommended.
