Diagram showing solid-body rotation of the Earth with respect to a stationary spin axis due to true polar wander. This diagram is greatly exaggerated. According to Doubrovine and his team, Earth's solid outer layers have been slowly rotating at a rate of 0.2 degrees every million years. Diagram via Wikimedia Commons.and more germane to this list:

Obama's ego? The earth is simply trying to reorient to the new gravitational and magnetic center of the universe.
Ping.
That’s two for two so far this week.
So the Mayans were right?
Ping.
That’s two for two so far this week.
“These scientists used hotspots in Earth’s mantle as part of a computer model, which they say is accurate for the past 120 million years,”
120 million years? WTH.
Does Al Gore know that Earth is not in Balance?
Bush’s fault.
The Center of the Earth is getting hotter and hotter, approaching millions and millions of degrees, which is its response to the burining of carbon fuels and the excess buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere.
We’re all gonna DIE!
But in the view of Al Gore, this is perhaps not bad thing.
Then once again the Earth shall cool, the polar ice caps shall reform, and the oceans shall recede.
“accurate for the past 120 million years”
Statements like this make my eyes roll so far back in my head they get stuck.
The experts can’t even accurately predict what the local weather is going to be tomorrow.
Note to self; Buy new compass in 900 million years.
But they can predict yesterday's weather perfectly, and isn't that clear evidence of the validity of their model?
It works like this. I use a mathematical equation to correlate the last 7 days of weather to a 1962 edition of TV Guide. It is 100% accurate, so how could you possibly dismiss its accuracy for predicting tomorrow's weather?
Where could the flaw be in that?
Are they messing around with those computer “models” again?
It’s strange that all of these doomsday dolts whine and bellow about some perceived “tragedy that only they can “prove” with “their” computers.
But deny what we, and common sense, can plainly see and prove, like whether or no Obama is ruling the country.
Where’s the computer model on that?
btt
So Guam could tip over?
As a result, laws must be passed requiring us all to drive on the left side of the road.
