Scumbria,

The term "acts of God" implies some sort of unpredictability, when in fact the motions along the San Andreas fault are actually quite well understood and predictable on a long term basis.

Many things are predictable on a long term basis, yet, they are very unpredictable on a short term basis. For example, those options that I bought for pennies yesterday (actually, for quarters), will they make me money in next 3 days?
