What are the seismic effects of 200,000 women dressing immodestly all on the same day?
After an Iranian cleric proclaimed that women who dress immodestly causes earthquakes, Jen McCreight this week created an internet sensation by testing his claim with Boobquake, which tests exactly that.
I spoke with Jen during Boobquake on my afternoon radio show, joining the BBC, ABC, CBC, CNN, Fox News and many others in a sort of mutual fascination with the idea behind the event. I wanted to find out if she was challenging all supernatural claims or just this one, and whether a 6.5 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan had anything to do with her breasts.
