If you live in Southern California, you probably have the ever present fear of a big earthquake looming in your psyche. While there has been an app that could possibly detect and warn you of an earthquake, it could only supposedly give you a 10-second warning.

What can you do with that 10 seconds?

Don’t answer or think about it. Let Conan O’Brien and company do that for you because their answer is probably way more entertaining yours.

Recently: Alex Sulkin, a staff writer at the popular adult-slanted cartoon Family Guy, was harshly called out for his insensitive, offensive attempt at making light of the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami that wreaked havoc, death, and destruction on Japan just yesterday. Lesson: don’t make jokes in the “never too early” spirit of trying to be as controversial as possible just for the sake of being as controversial as possible, thinking the shock itself is what’s funny. Make jokes because the accepted inconsistency or overlooked false assumption is legitimately funny. Take a cue from Paul Provenza and his angle on 9/11.
