The Onion: Fracking Causing Earthquakes?
Fracking wastewater is being blamed for several recent Youngstown, OH earthquakes, including one that reached a magnitude of 4.0. What do you think?

Don't worry, the U.S. Geological Survey is devising ways to solve the problem. In the meantime, we'll just have to put up with private corporations compromising the ancient bedrock underneath the North American continent's surface.
