Bone,

"Here's a foolish thing which isn't as looney as it may sound. Oil is lubricant. Oil is underground. We've sucked all the oil out of the earth. No lubrication. Causes friction, Causes earthquakes I think. I know it sounds silly as hell, but if you check the numbers, earthquakes have increased since we've been drilling for oil. Coincidence?"

I agree with you 100% on this. I feel confident that all the oil drilling in Texas has caused the rash of plate shifts.
