Obviously the whole super-moon thing is bollocks and the only people they have making these "predictions" are astrologers *Cough*frauds*Cough* but you have to be quite impressed at the timing of this article! Date stamped 8th March 2011

Is there any science backing these theories up?

Absolutely none

That nuclear plant looks a bit precarious now doesnt it?

seriously, the daily mail haters are worse sometimes!

It's the 21st century, how the f**k is astrology entering the science and technology pages of a major uk newspaper.

it's offensive and shameful journalism to give time to any of this mumbojumbo bullshit, even more so when it's a few hours after it's happened. So, yes, in my eyes Reuters have been c**ts too.

And there's plenty of reasons to hate the dailymail. I suggest you do some reading about the mail's view on MMR vaccine, it's basis for this view, and the consequences their campaign had on parents and children. It's top of a long list of irresponsible bullshit journalism

It's just a newspaper. It's only there to sell newspapers to it's target audience and make money, people tend to forget this.

Children *have* died from measles because their parents were scared of giving their children the jab because of this irresponsible daily mail campaign.

Like I say, people tend to forget that the newspaper it just about selling papers.

It's not though, that's the problem. Newspapers - and all other news media for that matter - are tools. Extremely powerful and at times pretty damn evil tools.

However, i do agree that morons who take it as gospel are a large part of the problem as well.

Oh this is true. I realise. And in the grand scheme of daily mail f**kups this ain't such a problem because it doesn't put anyone's lives at risk. Its just offensive and dumb. But newspapers must realise they have to be responsible with their journalism because this is where people get their information from.

My hatred for them is justified. They handed over their front pages for months to a small time theory which said the MMR jab caused autism. This had no sound scientific basis and has basically been rubbished by the GMC and almost everybody in the medical profession.

The tools only work if people pay them any attention though.

Ignoring the obvious tragedy of the whole thing, I love watching videos of tsunamis, awesome power. Earth's mightiest force.

Saw this on twitter earlier (paraphrasing)

"The headline you won't see today; 'Millions saved by clever engineering and Japanese building refulationd', but it's what happened"

As bad as it is, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

True, but as people have pointed out elsewhere, plenty of Japanese people outside Tokyo are living in traditional Japanese houses that haven't a hope of withstanding the wall of water/debris.
