Can cleavage trigger a movement, as in an earthquake?

If you're a woman, your cleavage is to blame for earthquakes.

Sounds ridiculous right? But this was the message last week from Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi, an Iranian cleric. The promiscuity of women, he said, is directly related to the increase in earthquakes.

Jen McCreight -- a self-described "liberal, geeky, nerdy, scientific, perverted atheist feminist" college student at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. -- decided to test his theory. And so she created "Boobquake," happening worldwide today, April 26. To spread the word, she took to her blog, Blag Hag last Monday with the message in post titled, "In the name of science, I offer my boobs."
