Imagine a crack in the Earth’s crust deep beneath the ocean, capable of unleashing earthquakes so powerful they send shockwaves across the sea. The Kermadec Trench, lurking in the Pacific Ocean just north of New Zealand, is exactly that kind of place. It is one of the deepest parts of the ocean and a hotspot for massive earthquakes. In this post, we’ll explore what the Kermadec Trench is, how it works, and why scientists keep a watchful eye on it. We’ll dive into the mechanics of subduction zones, revisit some historic earthquakes from this region, and understand the potential dangers – including tsunamis – that a large Kermadec quake could pose. The science is fascinating, and the stakes are thrillingly high, so let’s get started.

Few things are tackier than wearing overalls with a sweater.

14. Chuckles, The Penny-wise Shopper
You never know who you’re going to run into while shopping at Walmart. Or should we say what you’re going to run into. Let’s keep our hands to ourselves, this clown might be looking for some finger foods to comp down on.
13. Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair
Starting a hair lanyard for your mother is easy. Knowing when to stop is difficult.
The challenge was to tie on a scrunchie every time she spotted a mullet in the store.
She started an hour ago.
12. Walk-ins Welcome, Roll-ins too
Walmarts do have a very convenient auto center, but people usually just drive around to the side not straight through the store. Or maybe they were just looking for the Mcdonalds that usually located inside, and they were just trying to find the drive through window.
11. Like Plumber, Like Sun
The people of walmart finding new ways to use regular household appliances everyday. Be on the look out for this new fashion trend on the runways. And try not to lose an eye around these guys.
10. Pretty in Pink
Day twenty-seven of my sojourn among the humans. I have finally grown comfortable in this human outfit. After careful observation, I have concluded that humans are mostly pinkish in color and round in shape. I decided to test out my human suit in a public space. I was concerned that I would not fool them at all, but it turns out that I am not getting any more strange glances than half the people in the store. I had plans on returning to the mothershop with the information I have gathered, but I’d rather not leave. I have finally found a place where I fit right in.
9. Too Old To Be a Greeter
200 years later Rip Van Winkle awoke to a different kind of tyranny altogether. “By gum!” he exclaimed. “Four dollars for a pound of coffee? And they call that rolling back prices? I can’t imagine what the cost would be if they added a tax! I knew I should have gone back to bed this morning!”
8. Never Goes Out of Style
Grandpa found the perfect shoes to match his jacket. He thought he spotted black leather purse and fishnet hose up ahead. Now if he could only remember where he was going, or where he’d just been, or how’d he get up this high?
7. The Cardboard Customer
Our new eco-friendly clothing line is 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and—I’m sorry, no. That’s a box. The girl is literally wearing a broken cardboard box. There’s just no way around that. This is what we’ve come to.
6. Does This Count as Bald?
Ah, the perils of shaving your head without a proper mirror.
“Excuse me, mam. Is this the checkout counter? Because I think you should check out my new hair style. I did it myself. It’s called the tire mark.”
5. Honesty is the Best Punishment
Everybody has their own parenting style, but does this really work? When you’re a kid you could run around and not careless. Wearing a bright sign that makes people give you attention is like currency to children.
4. Ginger Flavored Dog Food
So that’s what that space underneath the shopping cart is for! Dog food and children… I wonder if it can fit adults as well?

3. Family Portrait
Sometimes when you’re shopping you avoid an aisle because it’s too full of people. But what do you do when it’s too full of terrifying fictional characters and..grandma?
2. Scooter Pooting
-“Excuse me, customer service? I’d like to make a return.”
“Something wrong with the scooter?”
-“No, I want to return my daughter.”
“Mam, you cannot return a family member.”
1. Superbuggy
Faster than a speeding buggy with a missing wheel. Stronger than off-brand deodorant. Able to leap from one social faux pas to the next.
