How about anemones? :)
To: aculeus
The Earth's magnetic poles might be starting to flip I hate when that happens.
To: aculeus
What would be the result if this happens? Bad things?
To: aculeus
Time to de-gauss
To: aculeus
So?
Why should we care? Especially, since it's over several millennia. Does this affect us today? Now?
Is the sky falling?
To: aculeus
If they continue to grow at the same rate, the Earth's dipole will disappear within just two millennia. Who cares? All life will have perished due to global warming by then.

You'll have to play your 8-tracks backwards and run your computer's hard drive in reverse.

Foolish Humans!
Your magnetic poles are no match for our magnetoplasmadynamic deviation ray. You are doomed!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now, all we got to do is outlaw those darned pesky SUV's and this problem will go away!
To: aculeus
Hey! We're the new southern hemisphere!
To: Aliska
We'll have to drive on the other side of the road too, right?
It could also mean the Cubs will win the World Series in the near future....

>The Earth's magnetic poles might be starting to flip say researchers who have seen strange anomalies in our planet's magnetic field.

Nah.
All the AC current will flow backwards the other half of the time though.
It will now have to be described as a cosine curve.
To: aculeus
Republicans and global warming will get the blame.
To: justshutupandtakeit
My high school physics teacher said either nothing will happen or we'll all fall over dead due to the B fields in our brains being reversed. Haven't heard anything about it from my college physics profs.
Any biophysicists here have a more informed idea?

Did you know that the Canadians are rapidly losing the North Magnetic Pole?
Its now moving away from its (former) Hudson Bay location at a rate now exceeding several hundred kiometers - PER YEAR, if I recall the reference correctly.
D**m Canadians couldn't keep Gretzsky where he belongs, and now they're losing the North Pole!

We'll have to drive on the other side of the road too, right? Nah. The English drive on the wrong side of the road already. It almost causes a polar shift but we haven't hit critical mass yet.
t could also mean the Cubs will win the World Series in the near future...
Now that is stretching things a bit. But it could cause their synapses firing the other way and that would be fun to watch.
