The most entertaining religion news story this week was unquestionably “Boobquake,” a Facebook-fueled joke calling on ladies to respond, um, appropriately to an Iranian Muslim cleric’s recent statement that womens’ immodest attire has been causing the earth’s violent tremors.

Purdue University student/Boobquake mastermind (and atheist) Jennifer McCreight explained the April 26 phenomenon for ABC News.

Apparently, we all survived… except that there WAS an temblor in Taiwan later that day. Oops. Maybe God really does hate cleavage? Then again, no one died… I think it’s safe to keep watching “Dancing with the Stars.”
