tremor centered in northern Virginia that was felt as far away as Cincinnati. On Tuesday when the earthquake occurred, the Park Service closed the monument to visitors, and it is still closed pending structural evaluations. The obelisk is cracked in more than one place--one fissure is four feet long--and a large block at the top is standing out several inches on the inside[photo courtesy Washington Post]. Animals at the National Zoo were observed by humans to anticipate and react to the earthquake. The orangutans and gorillas were the most noticeably upset by the tremor, but the red ruffed lemurs, the most archaic of the primates, anticipated the quake by 15 minutes. Obviously, the lemurs are still closely tuned to Earth. Man should listen too, if he still can.

Washington's Penis Cracked
The Washington Monument also known locally as "Washington's penis" cracked under the strain of the 5.9 earth
