CNN.com currently has a big "Breaking News" banner up which says:

The U.S. Geological Survey has increased the magnitude of the Indonesian earthquake to 8.2.

If the Indonesians do not surrender within the hour, the USGS is prepared to increase it to a 9.0.

Disclaimer: since there are currently no reports of casualties, I feel fine making fun of this. I reserve the right to delete this and never mention it again, if it turns out to be deadly.
