Legendary prank caller Captain Janks has struck again, this time targeting CNN during a report about the earthquake that hit northern California early Sunday morning.

CNN thought it was speaking to Adam Sure, a spokesperson for the San Francisco police department, about the damage that has been reported thus far. It quickly became apparent that that was not the case, however, when the caller said that the earthquake was "a rumbling from Howard Stern's butt crack."
