593610 2007-10-03 23:45:00 I think that's how NZ got all upside down too . .

Once upon a time, Upsidedown Land was Rightsideup Land, and was actually where it was originally created . . . the Northern Hemisphere .

Proof: The common language and walking upright . . well, some are upright anyway .

And some actually speak a variation on The King's English with sloppy syntax, sins and taxes .

We love them anyway .

Now listen here Joe, we are not Upside Down .

We are all honouree members of the “Flat Earth Society” and many of our members hold high office in the same organisation . :D :D :lol:

593613 2007-10-04 03:56:00 those articles seemed to contradict themselves a bit....


I will agree that the figures used in the two articles differ slightly but I wouldn't say they contradicted each other.

from the first, more reasonable article, "Reversals take a few thousand years to complete, and during that time--contrary to popular belief--the magnetic field does not vanish. 'It just gets more complicated'"

and from the second, typical news article, "Sun's rays to roast Earth as poles flip"

you only needed post the first one


Oh I did read them Mike and let me quote from the Guardian one:

'Earth's magnetic field has disappeared many times before - as a prelude to our magnetic poles flipping over, when north becomes south and vice versa,' said Dr Alan Thomson of the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh.
'Reversals happen every 250,000 years or so, and as there has not been one for almost a million years, we are due one soon.'

Now, if this phenomenon happens every 250,000 years but hasn’t happened for 1,000,000 years is this not a straight contradiction? :groan:

Actually, this event was set down by some “eminent scientists” to occur at midnight on December 31st 1999. We’re still waiting. :groan:

Well, I’d dearly like to read the documentation that records the event the last time it happened. :D


again the guardian article was useless, and the nasa one actually explained how the know when and for how long the poles behave as they do

I beg to differ!

I can c/p with the best of them after years in chatrooms and a full library of reference material to counter strike and parry .

I had one of those Media-type keyboards and c/p was a macro and toggle was a different single key too . . it was fun when I was younger on AOL . . . <sigh . . . I WAS silly then>:D

NO COMMENTS!

I will have a detailed report on global warming/cooling after a while . . I am playing with Linux again! <sigh . . . I AM silly yet!>:groan:

That is not a contradiction it is an anomaly.

No..I seem to remember that anomalies happen in 1,000 year increments; contradictions have longer epochs
