Just a short note for post-quake updates: (1) The NZ Skeptics website now has a section on it looking at the claims by Ken Ring with regard to earthquake prediction. Check it out here: skeptics.org.nz/SK:KENRINGWe've taken the seemingly novel approach of seeing how the claims stack up, what the support is for them, how good the predictive value is. While it may not convince his supporters and celeb endorsers, we think the evidence speaks for itself..... (2) The Annual Conference will still be in Christchurch. Pencil in these dates: 26-28 August and arrange your transport now. The venue is fine and we'll all be back to normal (for a certain value of normal) by then. Registration forms will be available later on the website or in the NZ Skeptic journal (which you get if you're a subscribing member of the NZ Skeptics). (3) We've made it past the March 20th city-leveller that was predicted by Mr Ring. We're confident that we will all make it past the May 21 Rapture that is now being promulgated, and October's Apocalypse and, later on, 2012 itself. Perhaps Tui should come out with a new billboard" The End of the World is Coming......Yeah right....
