"Thousands of people are reported to be staying out of Rome for the next few days, over fears the city will be hit by a huge earthquake.

The panic was sparked by rumours that seismologist Raffaele Bendandi, who died in 1979, predicted the city would be devastated by a quake on 11 May.

There are reports of an 18% increase in the number of city employees planning to stay away from work.

"I'm going to tell the boss I've got a medical appointment and take the day off," barman Fabio Mengarelli told Reuters."

Wow - 18% of the cities employees are irrational!

Maybe he just got his dates wrong, it can happen when you are predicting 30 years in advance.

Does the barman who said he was going to fake a doctors appointment still have a job...

Theres been 23 other earthquakes today so far of equal or greater magnitude so its a pretty lousy prediction.
