I'm a dork so I'm gonna talk sciency stuff today.
How does everyone feel about the fact that our Poles (north and south, d'uh) have a nasty habit of swapping around every 650,000 years or so?? We're about 30,000 years overdue and it's starting already, the Poles are shifting at a speed of 20-30km every year.
Meaning it will shut down the magnetic fields that protect us from the UV light for at least 100 years, so we will all get crisped into ashes in a matter of seconds when we go outside for a stroll.
Due the shifting rate, this is predicted to happen sometime in 2012.
Lovely.
another viewpoint, at least ;]
