#69: Earthquake
I was just casually browsing http://www.wowbash.com (excellent site, by the way) and suddenly my monitors started shaking, along with my desk and the walls in my bedroom. It lasted about 7-8 seconds and I wondered what in the blue hell was going on. I thought I was going crazy, but then I alt+tabbed to IRC and everyone in the UK had suddenly become active - “anyone just feel that?” “what the hell” “was that an earthquake?” etc.

That was awesome. I’m glad I was still awake. ^^
I think i slept through it :D !!!
I think quite a few people did, to be honest. It was excellent, I can at least now say that I felt an earthquake during my liftetime in a place where they don’t usually happen…
Choccy Woccy Doo Dah is amazing, incidentally. You should definitely go and try their cake :D
I wish I was there :< I have never ever experienced an earthquake before :<
All of my female guildies from the UK were telling me I was retarded for it, though. :P
