Damn funny clink but there should be a disclaimer saying your post is for entertainment purposes only.
The area where all the quakes have been occurring is called Walker Lane (no relation to zombies).
The Pacific and North American plates are big plates, relatively speaking.
Mighty as it is, the San Andreas Fault can't accommodate all the motion that needs to occur between the two plates.
There is a whole system of faults splintering the eastern Sierra and most geologists believe this area helps accommodate what the San Andreas can't. There are also whole systems of faults in the Bay area and in So Cal that assist with the motion.
It's fairly complicated - especially from a meanderthal's point of view.
As a result, people come up with all kinds of entertaining explanations - earthquake weather for instance.
