Why isn't the Richter scale called the "Richter Scale" anymore?
 

Poor Richter.

Now its something like "Moment magnitude scale."

Lame.

These older magnitude scales have been superseded by the implementation of methods for estimating the seismic moment, creating the moment magnitude scale, although the former are still widely used because they can be calculated quickly.

Maybe it's not politically correct, like most things nowadays...

Not lame at all, they are two different things :)

Because Richter was killed by Quaid you fucking idiot.
