Unalaska, Alaska

So apparently the rapture is happening right now in Alaska:

AP-Alaska Earthquake
Quake shakes Alaskan islands
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A strong earthquake has jolted Alaska's central Aleutian Islands. The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude six quake iscentered about 12 miles northeast of Unalaska Island. There are no reports yet of injuries or damage. And scientistssay there was no risk of a tsunami. It's the second big Pacific rim earthquake within a matter of hours.


And that's a shame really, I'd really liked to have traveled there with the Northern Lights and all. But really... the "Unalaska Islands"? I mapquested it and all (google maps is the best, I know. Double True.) Turns out it actually is a place in Alaska, except it's unalaska. I am reminded of the Seinfield episode where Kramer is dating that girl who lives downtown. Anyway, Unalaska, Alaska must be the nexus of the universe.

The thing of it is: Is this like Unamerican? Is it because a bunch of non-alaskans live there? Probably some ticked off Canadiens. Actually, here's the real reason. But it's not as funny. Sometimes I'm better off not knowing the truth behind things because then it can be anything I want it to be.
