My “Boo[b] Boo Gone Wild” (or Myth Buster) award goes to… Hojatoleslam Kazem Seddiqi

In April this Iranian cleric advised his followers in Tehran that “Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes” and Iranians should “adapt their lives to Islam’s moral codes” to avoid being “buried under the rubble.”   On April 26, an estimated 200,000 university coeds on campuses across North America let it all hang out in a mass demonstration of defiance and skepticism that was dubbed “Boobquake.”  The mean seismic average magnitude of all earthquakes reported on April 26 was actually slightly below average.
