I think predicting no earthquakes over mag 6 for two weeks period in August regardless if it is the beginning, middle, end or combination of two is a successful prediction when talking of earthquakes.
You are proving one thing DJW. You are proving that it's very hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

Actually we're 100% correct. I've already received a message back fro Dr. Zanette. It seems that the infallible "good Doctor" can't even perceive satire.
Thank you for your message. You have correctly perceived the satirical nature of my "contribution". I am amused to hear that Omerbasich and supporters (?!) think that it backs their theories (which of course I consider garbage)... but perhaps this reaction was to be expected. Let us just enjoy the entertainment, which will evanesce as swiftly as comet Elenin.
Best wishes. Damián Zanette

Just because I knew you'd claim forgery I just got finished uploading a screenshot of the email.

Then no earthquakes in two weeks is an anomaly.
What image processing software was that done in? Pretty lame job btw

Here's an idea: since you obviously do not understand Dr. Zanette's paper, why don't you e-mail him yourself and have him explain it to you. Then you can post the reply here for all to see. Otherwise, all you're doing is, well, trolling.

Last time I checked Windows Outlook wasn't a photo editing software. The only editing I did on that photo was to black out my name. I agree that since you don't believe me you should go ahead an email Dr. Zanette. The only reason I can see for you not to do that is because you can't take the fact that not only is Omerbashich not supported by other scientists, but is in fact a laughing stock among other scientists.

There are many factors that cause earthquakes, not just celestial bodies in our solar system. Just because we had an earthquake during that time frame does not mean that his hypothesis for his theory is incorrect.
If that is what you are implying?
I'm not implying anything; I am simply pointing out that HRH was wrong. Funny, if he had predicted that there would be no earthquakes and there weren't any, you would claim that his theory were proven. If he predicted that there would be one, and there were, you would also claim that his theory were proven. As it is, he was wrong, so you are making excuses. Since you are now acknowledging that things other than planetary alignments cause earthquakes, perhaps you are ready to admit to yourself that maybe its these other things that cause the earthquakes and the "planetary alignments" are just a coincidence.
You can't grasp simple concepts: middle 2 weeks are any 2 consecutive weeks which are neither the beginning nor ending weeks of any given month. Why is it so difficult? Did you confuse middle for median/medial, perhaps?

Have you actually looked at the month of August on a calendar? August 1 was a Monday, so there are two possible "two consecutive weeks" that are neither the first nor last week. One is August 7 - August 20, the other is August 14 - August 27. No matter how you choose, August 19 falls within the range. HRH is wrong again.edit on 14-9-2011 by DJW001 because: (no reason given)

Hmmm... couldn't possibly have anything to do with Europe's attitude towards the US invasion of Iraq, could it? Instead of trying to kick dust in people's eyes, why don't you just tell us what Dr. Zanette told you when he returned your e-mail. You did e-mail him, didn't you? Or are you afraid?
