Sun's rays to roast Earth as poles flip

And the liberals and Euro-snots will blame this on President Bush.

[Mike Fieschko]

France just surrendered.

Yay, I got it in first.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Women, minorities hardest hit.

[shadowman99]

Will this impact school lunch programs?

[fleur-de-lis]

And the evil corporate giants.

An AHHHHHHH. WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!! bump

I'm waiting, BREATHLESSLY for Algore's reflection on this. Wasn't he the one who wanted to put a big nirror/satellite in space so that we could observe our world? Maybe we could add a couple of big solar-powered electo-magnets above the poles to stabalize them? Time for the tin-hat brigade!

[VadeRetro]

Maybe an asteroid will slam us first.

[KevinDavis]

I guess it is time to pack up and leave this stinkin rock.

CURSES - Editorial correction to Nirror!

Heh, anyone with a simple understanding of electricity and magnetism could debunk this garbage. Its amazing how often it crops up though.

Leave it to a brit to write about it.

I just got over the Global Warming scare & now THIS! Rozanne Rozanadana was right "its always something".

[Lokibob]

Hell, sleep next to a nuke reactor for a year:

Thats when you need the tin foil and lead lined BVD's.

All due in fact to Hillary's magnetic personality. If we put her on one pole, and Bill on the other, all would stabilize.

'Reversals happen every 250,000 years or so, and as there has not been one for almost a million years, we are due one soon.'


Really,Reversals happen every 250K years but it has not happen in the last million. Boy that makes sense.

[Billthedrill]

Dang it, I warned you people about Y3K, but was anybody listening? Noooooooo....

Tin foil hat time, I always suspected that Atlantis is under one of the poles due to a pole flip. There is an accurate map that was found detailing the actual land mass that is buried under the miles of ice on the north pole (the actual land mass looks nothing like the ice sheet that covers it). The map is hundreds of years old and scientist weren't able to verify accuracy of the map until this century. It is an unsolved mystery how the map could exist. So, maybe crust flipping is not so strange afterall.

[woofer]

OOH! OOH! let me guess.

Is it because the satellites are not in the upper atmosphere? Could it be that the satellites are in orbit above the upper atmosphere and thus exposed to those cosmic rays and operating still?

Will Earth survive?
Will Kevin and Fiona be married before they find out they are brother and sister, separated at a young age when Fiona was stolen by a roving band of crazed DUers?

Film at eleven.

OK. Should I buy, or sell stock? I always get confused when the poles flip!
