Quote:This is probably Richter Scale, by Jay Kent Clark and Eliott Davis.
This brings to mind a song I remember from a Doctor Demento some years back. The song was about the Richter Scale. Pretty amusing in a scientific sort of way. It goes through listing various quakes of progressively higher magnitudes. The only problem is that I can't remember the name, the words or even very much of the song.
The only web reference available to it, though, is Bob Kanefsky's parody Kinsey Scale --
And speaking of which, I'd be scared and fascinated to think what Doug could do with some of Kanefsky's parodies...and what the reaction would have been if Threes, Take Three had ever gotten played in Valdemar.
