Nice picture!

OFFICIAL BUMP(TOPIC)LIST

[Arkie2]

I did notice a serious, serious lack of gravity in the vicinity of France!

[_Jim]

    bouger anomaly

Correctly put, that should be Bouger anomaly with the 'B' capitalized ...

[_Jim]

Moreover, correctly spelled the term is Bouguer anomaly named for Pierre Bouguer, a French mathematician (1698 to 1758).

[FReepaholic]

>>...I did notice a serious, serious lack of gravity in the vicinity of France!..<<

Yeah, Frenchmen do seem to be a little "light in the loafers".

[fhayek]

Pierre Bouguer. You're putting me on, aren't you?

[_Jim]

Ahhh .. yeah. I'm putting you on (like I know these things?) ...

[HighWheeler]

Hildebeast could stand on a scale in the blue zones and still peg the meter.

COOL. Check this out, bro, I think the world is pullin' on me more than you...

[_Jim]

Lucky guess on my part huh?

[MeekOneGOP]

Interesting, thanks ! I never figured such anomalies occurred with gravity.

[DPB101]

Know if there is any matching of areas on opposite sides of the earth? Does low gravitational force in the Gulf of Mexico match a low density in Nepal?

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Understanding precisely how greenhouse warming could change our planet will depend on these bumps and pimples.

I'm going to hurl...

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[Arkie2]

Make sure you do that in a low gravity area.

[hispanarepublicana]

Does this mean I should go to Cuba or Canada to lose those last 20 pounds?

[HenryLeeII]

I've noticed a disturbing gravity high always in the vicinity of good bourbon.

You too? I've noticed a high-gravity cell in my den, concentrated around the area where my reclining sofa is, and the problem seems to be compounded by the introduction of a Bloody Mary or other Polish vodka-based libation. I need millions in Federal grant money to further study this phenomenon...
