On Easter Sunday a magnitude 7.2 earthquake shook the US-Mexico border, killing two people and injuring 233. Southern California Earthquake Center, relying on all that science stuff, says the cause was a tectonic shift between the Pacific plate and the North American plate boundaries. But Oprah’s favorite guru, Deepak Chopra, knows the truth :
“Had a powerful meditation just now — caused an earthquake in Southern California,” Chopra wrote to his nearly 179,000 Twitter followers shortly after the quake.
And then, to clarify: “Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake,” he tweeted. “Sorry about that.”

An hour after Chopra’s Twitter confession, he vowed to one Twitter user, @WhiteMoon7, “Won’t do it again — promise.”
Well, let’s hope not. But just in case, residents of California might want to update their insurance policies to cover acts of transcendental meditation.
