The strongest earthquake, 2 actually, in recorded american history, and it happened in Illinois, not California/Alaska. I grew up just north of there.

So strong, it reportedly rang church bells in Philadelphia. Over 1000 miles away. Iirc, another one is due in 100 - 300 years based on sand blow research. Google "New Madrid earthquake".

Pringles are hyperbolic paraboloids. And the equation for such, I'm assured, is z=x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2 :doh:

The ancient historian Tacitus tells us that the word Germans could be derived from 'the genuine ones'.

I have the book 'Germania' by Tacitus and I remember it mentioning something about the earliest origins of the German people and the many tribes that made up Germania,the Teutones being the strongest tribe.
