When I was living in Chesapeake VA during the beginning of a hurricane there was a similar deal with a snapping turtle. I tried to go out and save it, but I wussed out, and then my little sister who was staying with me at the time just picked that bad boy up without hesitation and hauled him to the lawn nearby. That girl has no fear!
I think Dan is onto something about removing all the magma. Plus since you're removing mass from the earth, that means gravity goes down which means we all weigh less. It's like a diet for everyone.
Is nobody going to mention that there's what appears to be a Gibson guitar just lying against an amp. That thing is begging to have it's headstock snapped right off. Must be an Epiphone.
