Earthquake Victims Bravely Continue To Rock Each Other’s World

If you follow the regular news, you know that Great Britain suffered its strongest earthquake in 25 years on Wednesday. Because it was entirely British, the 5.2-magnitude rumbler was also the politest earthquake on record, destroying no buildings and causing no injuries. There was one couple, however, who suffered considerably as a result of the great shaking—Charlotte Green and Rob Wilkinson, who were having sex at the precise moment the earth shifted. England's greatest tabloid, The Sun -- being the great tabloid that it is -- was naturally all over this heartbreaking disaster story and published one of the most ridiculous "news" items in their history, which is saying something. We especially appreciate the accompanying picture, where Rob's grin seems to say to his entire nation, "Yeah ... I got some!" If any Britons (or other earthquake survivors) would also like to share their brave tales of tectonic love, we'd be happy to be post those too. With action shots, if possible.
