San Andreas 

A fault line that spans a length of roughly eight hundred miles through California. The San Andreas fault marks a transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. Massive earthquakes occur on this fault line.

Contrary to what ignorant kids think, San Andreas actually exists in the REAL world as a fault line.

Skynet 

A military AI computer network created by Cyberdyne Systems that gains sentience and begins a genocidal war against humanity when US military officials try to pull the plug on the project. Sends two Terminators back in time, one to destroy opposition leader John Connor's mother before Connor is born, and one to eliminate Connor ten years later.

Skynet's undoing was its use of humans to dispose of bodies in its death camps.

Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry

Greatest rivalry in the history of professional sports. Most years the rivalry ends as somewhat of a draw. This year, the Red Sox have the better team (wait, they usually have the better team every year) and have already taken six out of seven games from the Yankees (see shit). Does not bode well for the Bronx Bombers.

You see the Yankees just bought up every good player they could?

Doesn't matter, since the Sox have the best pitching in baseball.
