Voted "Most likely to lose his job"

I was perusing the online LA Times, and I came upon this ironic
gem, from January 10 (copyright LA Times, Americast Cybercasting):

   A magnitude 3.7 earthquake centered in the Pacific Ocean two miles
   south of Santa Monica shook parts of Los Angeles on Sunday (Jan 9)...

   The basin has been experiencing a period of "seismic quiet" for
   several years, and Sunday's 3.7 temblor, designated as mild, did
   little to change that, seismologists said.

   "It does not bring us out of that. It's a little too mild," said
   Caltech seismologist Egill Hauksson. An earthquake would have to
   measure "somewhere in the 5 to 6 range" to end the quiet period, he
   added.


I wonder if Hauksson then went to Las Vegas to bet his life savings on Red?
