Cop: He'll what?

Geomagnetic flip may not be random after all
One of the most fascinating natural phenomena on Earth is the flipping of its magnetic field, which has occurred hundreds of times in the last 160 million years. When the magnetic field flips, the North Pole becomes the South Pole and vice versa. The last time this happened was some 780,000 years ago, so we could be heading for another reversal soon. Now, physicists in Italy have found that the frequency of these polarity reversals is not random as previously thought but occurs in clusters, revealing some kind of "memory" of previous events (physics/0603086).

While the earth's mag field is flipping, it may have two north poles and no south pole. We are not dealing with a couple of scotty magnets.
And Hillary should lead the charge! :0)
Dam, and I just got a new compass for my boat. I guess I'll just have to look at it in a mirror.
I was listening to some fruitloop on Art Bell last week. The magnetic flip is a known fact but this nutjob says the whole planet will flip.
Stranger still was the fact that he didn't seem to think that a physical flip of the entire planet would be as dangerous as the magnetic flip.
Study finds women, children, and minorities are impacted most by pole reversals....

Will we fall off?
I hate it when that happens.
Well let us hope, that when it flips, it will flip the ThugoRats into honest, decent people and flip the Repubs into real conservatives.
I wait anxiously --- :-)
Will my GPS device still work?
GPS should be fine as it doesn't rely on magnetic north like a compass.
Art Bell is just fine, he interviews nuts for fun and profit I think. I know he was laughing at that one.
Are the Carolinas and the Dakotas gonna have to swap first names? Are the guys in Alabama gonna have to start saying "Save yer Confederate money, boys, the North shall rise again"? Are my terlits gonna start swirling another direction? C'mon, man, these articles never address the important stuff...
Sounds like a case of bipolar disorder...
Bush is causing the magnetic pole flip to benefit his cronies at Halliburton and DP World.
Be interesting to apply these statistical methods to analyze Bell's history of retiring and coming back - to see if it's random or there's some pattern.
