Shaking

2.7 micro-earthquake shook my house a few minutes ago.

I _knew_ there was a reason I was still awake.

It totally freaked me out.

Mister Thing has hidden under the couch.

I was also rather startled by it. I was in the middle of calculating something complicated, too.

The distinction between light, micro, and local earthquakes escapes me. If it shakes the house, it's not light, IMHO.

Fortunately, it was over pretty quick.

Give me a break, i can cause greater shaking than that with my flatulence.

This is almost certainly true. Ballads are written about the great dry odiferous winds that emanate from your nether regions. Mothers frighten their children into eating otherwise inedible vegetables by threatening them with your suffocating fumes. The Geneva Convention precludes the use of your gaseous miasma in war time.

Forensic anthropologists must be forgiven if they somehow mistake your ass for a deep sea vent, for the rumblings and chemical mixtures produced are nearly identical.
