This story just screams out for some cheesy line like, "the earth shook for me". But I wouldn't stoop to that ... .

Attractive women who wear makeup, snub traditional Islamic attire and dress "inappropriately" incite extramarital sex, which causes more earthquakes, a hard-line Iranian cleric has claimed.
Ayatollah Kazem Sedighitold was reported by an Iranian newspaper saying recently that these women are to blame for the country's calamities, the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph reports:
"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes ... We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers."
The Islamic dress code is mandatory in Iran, which is prone to quakes because it is bounded by several faultlines. The dress code says post-pubescent women, regardless of religion or nationality, must cover their hair and bodily contours in public.
The last serious earthquake in Iran happened in 2003 and killed more than 31,000 people. Experts have warned that a strong quake in Tehran could kill hundreds of thousands of people.
