- Wasn't some kind of link between solar activity and earthquakes part
- of John Gribbin's goofy "Jupiter Effect" predictions, that the gathering
- of planets on one side of the solar system in 1982 would cause massive
- seismic disaster? When he recanted in 1980, the reason he gave was
- that the sunspot maximum was coming earlier than he expected. People
- wonder why I'm leery of this guy's writings on quantum mechanics.
