A German scientific team is doing something about global warming. The researchers have determined that the earth's orbit needs to be directed ever so slightly away from the sun -- thus cooling the planet down. The group has calculated that if just 600 million folks like us would jump up and down at precisely the same time, we could actually move earth. This is not a joke. They say that 110 million people are already signed on. "World Jump Day" is July 20, 2006.

Bwaaaaaa hahahahahahaha! OK DUmmies, mark your calendars.

Hilarious. Obviously these folks have never heard of Newton's Laws.

I think a well placed nuke will help out, i can think of some ideal places........hehehe

[The Unknown Nobody]

jttt...uh...jump to the top..../fizzle

[OSHA]

I volunteer to sweep up after. If 600 million people lose just 1 cent each out of their pockets, that's a cool 6 mil!

"World Flatulence Day" might work just as well

[The Old Hoosier]

Um--that would work fine, but only if they jump and don't land on earth...

Here's hoping they take this opportunity to jump off the edge.

[LRS]

Leave it to a German to expect people to jump when he tells to...

[janetjanet998]

plus they would all be jumping at the different places..wouldn't they offset each other?

[TN4Liberty]

I betcha there is grant money involved...

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

They are going to recruit Chris Cross to help with this...

waiting to see who gets it first..

German ueber-robots help Lenin in scripting stupidity into people.

Global warming is a wishful thinking script, not science.

[sure_fine]

would they knock the Austrailians off the earth?

[WKUHilltopper]

Jumpin' Jiminey!

[Spiff]

I would be like the microorganisms in the water on a wet car all jumping up and down at the same time to try to alter the course or speed of a car travelling on the interstate. Utterly futile. Some people really need to download and use Google Earth so that they may understand just how huge the planet Earth really is and how insignificant the human population really is on the thin surface of this massive planet.

[BulletBobCo]

We only need Michael Moore to jump.

[Larry Lucido]

No, we're all meeting at my house.
