OMG, this is the “Big One”. Forget about Carbon Footprints, start the Thrusters. :groan: |

When this happens the earths magnetic field well be destroyed and all life on earth with it, from the radiation from the sun and stars, as it is the magnetic field that stops these baddies from getting in. Earth would eventually end up like Mars. :) |

Earth would eventually end up like Mars. :) Yeah I always wondered what the terraforming groups thought they were going to do about that small problem, you know, when they start going on about dropping ice comets onto Mars and recreating an atmosphere etc. But hey, we best get on with figuring out how to move the plant first.:nerd: |

Does this mean that God Inc. will have to rewrite the warranties on immortal life? If Eternity is now going to be time-limited, then I think that at the very least we should get some relaxation of the Ten Commandments so that we can compensate during our qualifying period here on Earth for the corporeal deprivation arbitrarily inflicted by this programming error. Personally I see it as a blatant attempt to solve the overcrowding problem created by unrestricted access via the forgiveness clause, no doubt exacerbated by the successive Popes' failure to relax their contraception embargo and the accelerating demand for virgins.

I thought that the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milkyway Galaxy (ours) would bump into each other by then. But hell we had better start taxing the population just incase.. |

We’re Saved, We’re Saved, you got it Paul, Tax it, that’ll fix it . :thumbs: What a relief . :) Anyway, I’m off to my “Nuclear Fall Out Shelter” I built in 1960, to have a bath in that water I saved to combat the Y2K bug in 2000, and take my daily Bird Flu shot . :rolleyes: I’m simply too exhausted to check my Carbon Footprint . :blush: |

| 643503 | 2008-02-26 01:20:00 | And now that you mention the North Pole, did you know that the Earths magnetic field is due to flip, ie the North Pole becomes south and the South Pole becomes north. :) |
