Earth-shattering Thoughts?

Some people think the earth under Christchurch is angry.

I was thinking of this on the way to work this morning, and suddenly had a different perspective on it.

What if, ya know, the earth under Christchurch is sick? What if she has projectile vomiting - you know - the sort where even if you know it's coming, you can't stop the event or the force of it? Maybe she's mortified by her lack of control. Perhaps she's trying to suppress the little burps and the big farts but she can't stop what's determined to come out! Every time there's a big scary one she's wanting to apologise - but she can't!
