Hmmm. Should I go out and purchase ultra cold weather gear?

Should a mass such as the very heavy volcano become unbalanced, Earth would tilt and rotate itself until the extra weight moves somewhere near the equatorWell, that'll teach the Muslims.

EVERYBODY PANIC!!!
We need legislation and we need it NOW! Heavy things and magnets must be distributed EVENLY around the globe, the US must NOT hoard these dangerous items any longer!
Damn those evil Pubbies/Bushbots/Neocons/Christians and their magnet monopoly!
Halliburton is making gazillions of dollars off of the tilt!
If we all lean the wrong way it will be THE END OF CIVILIZATION!
That's it! To be safe, we must all LEAN TO THE LEFT!
(I really shouldn't have to say that this post was tongue-in-cheek, but I had better do so... I was joking, I don't REALLY think those things)

Rather than a volcanically induced event, I would be far more inclined to believe such could be caused by a significant impact from space.
During the Cold War, there was even speculation that all-out nuclear war could tilt the Earth on its axis and cause massive climate changes as a result.
The essential question with this type of data is one of whether the rotational axis of the planet changes or just the magnetic field shifts. The latter is known to have occurred in the past (polar reversals).
While not fully understanding if this could be so, I am curious if a major impact (Ni/Fe) might cause a temporary shift in magnetic field.

Saw something similar on TV not long ago. They talked about the magnetic poles reversing in the past and maybe due to do so again. I don't remember them saying anything about the equator moving. This version sounds a little more drastic.

"The sediments we have recovered from Norway offer the first good evidence that a true polar wander event happened about 800 million years ago," said Adam Maloof,
Adam, go sit in the corner. 200 Million years ago there was only ONE continent, Pangaea. As such, 800 million years ago NOBODY knows where 'Alaska' would have been.
(why do these 'experts' always forget about plate tectonics and continental drift?)

Did not the Egyptians or the aliens build the Pyramids so that they, because of their weight, the big one weighs 12,000,000,000 pounds, would balance and keep the earth stable? Or so I read several times.

Sorry, this is junk science.
The pole wanders slightly, or more accurately the tilt of the earth changes slightly over time between 22.1 degrees and 24.5 degrees and the orbit around the sun wobbles, but the poles have been where they are for 4.4 billion years ever since another planet struck the earth, created the moon and put us on the spin/axis that we have now.
