SO here is my stance on this.
if the poles are going to reverse and the sun will tear through our fractured magnetic fields as the earth bakes into something you might find in the bottom of your oven, I am not going to worry about it.

Nothing we can do anyways, right? Eat, drink, Love and be happy for the time we have left.

:D

I think Byte has pretty much nailed this one on the head.....

But does this mean I no longer have to " feel bad" for driving a gas guzzling SUV?

[theGinsue]

Yes it does. The smog we create might be the only barrier that saves us from the sun's death rays.[Tooth]

[cstone]

This all sounds like a plot by Dr. Evil.

Where is Austin Powers when we need him?

[Monky]

So... does this mean I should cash in my vacation and sick time at work? Hmmm... what to do w/ that extra money. [M2]

[clublights]

if the poles swap ......... ( and we survive)

Would Australia no longer be "down under" would it then be known as " Up over"?

[Mazin]

I knew the movie's "the day after tomorrow" and "2012" were non-fiction!!!!!

I'm gonna start selling seats on my boat for 1 billion dollars. I will trade a few seats for some really cool guns!

[Cman]

HAHAHA How do these guys dream this stuff up? I wish I could get paid for this kind of dreaming.

[ghettodub]

At least we can thank Al Gore for inventing the internet to read awesome articles like that!

[sniper7]

oh two teh nose, itz z end ofh teh worldz[ROFL1]

[Lex_Luthor]

^..... as we know it. And I feel fine.

[CrufflerSteve]

I don't buy it. No mention of the dead coming back to live. It would be a pretty pitiful end of the world without a zombie apocalypse.

We can't blame Al Gore. That article cited its research to back up its assumtions. Al Gore never did that.

I just pray we don't end up "beside ourselves" [ROFL1]

ah jeez...

really?


and I read it and everything...

[Marlin]

Personally, everything shy of the sun going supernova, I'm not getting too worked up over.

[patrick0685]

im with marlin on that one

[Irving]

So my compass will read incorrectly and I'm just supposed to die? ll

Worse than the Y2k scare.

[Byte Stryke]

I hope that the next terrestrial dominant life form finds my Bones and puts me in a cool glass case in a museum somewhere.

You know that if you do, eventually another group of them will complain about how offensive and insensitive they are being by displaying your bones.

come on now Irving, just buy a GPS....wait, the satellites will be orbiting the wrong way...like water in the toilet spinning in the wrong direction.

we ARE fucked!

[Byte Stryke]

we call this one the homoerectus bytestrykerus, our archeologists have determined that these primal creatures held a pagan like ritualistic belief centered around these ceremonial black or wood sticks they nicknamed "are" and "ack" respectively. These were meant to be direct channels to their god, something they nicnamed "twoendy amend". In their native tongue, this meant "he who has my attraction rivaling that of the average primal woman" For reasons unknown, usually, only the men would perform the sacred dances of the "are" and the "ack", dancing in circles as all other primals were to duck in fear whenever the ceremonial stick was pointed at them.

you forgot the "ceremony of the exdee" in which we point it at the fibrous remains of a tree and shout loud and boisterous obscenities!

This day in history: Coming Ice age scientifically determined end of the world omgwtfpopsicle

This just in: global warming scientifically determined, earth is going to go up like a burnt marshmallow end of the world omgwtfbbq

This just in: Coming magnetic pole reversal scientifically determined everyone's going to die of sunburn and Australia will flip over and take the reverse cowgirl position on the planet, becoming one sexy superpower. omgwtf....wait, I want pictures.

I am starting to see a pattern though. Oh ye of little faith, they need to fullfill our genetic desire to know the beginning (a dot exploded and BOOM, people) and to know there is an end (well, were gunna die tomorrow so please sleep with me).

Trying to conceive that life goes on after we die, and other people will still be alive and won't give a rats ass that we are dead.... not really conductive to the narcissist, so we better find some way to end the planet before we are dead! I'm taking you all with me! -- Armageddon "scientist"

As long as there are people alive on the face of the planet, there will be some perpetuating popular culture theory "that's proven fact" on how the world is going to be destroyed tomorrow.


Mmmm...BBQ, with popsicles for dessert...and if the world ends, I won't even have to do the dishes....

Odd how they say this polar shift has happened every few hundred thousand years (More or less), yet we're all here....

Sure we can blame Gore. The reporter appears to have learned the art of misquoting and sensationalizing research from him. The Earth's magnetic field flips periodically but these are long periods. The pole moves constantly -- ever notice how the declination adjustment on topo maps changes over time? Just compare a USGS map from the 1960s to one made now.

Reporter is an idiot.

[Troublco]

Heck, they just had to renumber the runways on some airport in Florida because of the poles shifting around. And if, when the poles switch, everything got baked to a crisp then why the heck is there any life left on the planet at all? This has happened periodically, and not all that long ago by geologic standards. +1 for Aloha Shooter.

Ya mean I just can't hit the "On Star" button and be saved? Guess I will drive the TA then. [WooHoo]
