>>It’s the sound of our forefathers spinning in their graves.

LOL
I wonder if their spins change speed according to their dismay?

How fast do they spin when private property is “taken”? Faster or slower than when the gun grabbers crawl out of their holes?

“The entire planet is a Helmholtz sphere with its characteristic resonant frequency of about 8 Hz.”

And it’s children, (us), resonate at that very same frequency.

Food, (or vibration) for thought.

This discovery should force researchers to significantly rethink what causes Earth's hum. While the spheroidal oscillations might be caused by forces squeezing down on the planet - say, pressure from ocean or atmospheric waves - the twisting ring-like phenomena might be caused by forces shearing across the world's surface, from the oceans, atmosphere or possibly even the sun.
Gosh, I had no idea that the oceans and atmosphere could "push down". I kinda figured they were just part of the Earth itself. ;') Thanks NormsRevenge, this is pretty fascinating. I'd post a link to J. Marvin Herndon, but I've been foolin' around online too much today. :') Unlike most days (yeah, right).

almost like dozens of lazy hurricanes.

I knew it...it is Rove's weather machine. Therefore it follows that it must be Bush's fault!

I just went into a dark, quiet closet to listen for it...I sat quietly for almost an hour...I began hearing an extremely soft tune...it was hauntingly familiar...

"I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony..."

It’s the voice of Gaia, pleading with us to stop our destructive behaviors.

(or, She’s just meditating — O...O...O...O...M...M)

I told a lefty that I had the solution to the energy crisis. Of course he was intrigued.

I said that since congress just passed restrictions on what lightbulbs we could use in our houses,

we could hook up generators to the founders spinning in their graves.

He had to think about it for a bit, then just gave a semi-polite chuckle.

That’s pretty good. Are you one of them nuclear brain plumbers?
