Ther's another issue no one seems to want to do anything about. I
have a sink hole in my back yard, and it's very strangely getting

becoming even less than it was? How can any hole get larger, in any
sense of the word? It's a scandal, I tell ya.

There should be an inquiry of some sort, but who could we trust to
tell us the truth?


===========================================

Obviously you need the "hole" truth and nothing but.

I'm not a sink hole expert, nor do I play one on the internet, but I
think it's accurate to say that they never get any smaller. It might
be time to think about moving the house and car. The whole house.

Then go cruising (note clever attempt at staying on topic).

The original post was On Topic (OT). It concerned a possible danger
to those who still trust compii, in the face of an apparently
imminent (in geological terms) re-reversal of the earth's magnetic
field again.

Something is definitely afoot, and we need to think of something to
do! It seems, considering the fact that my sundial has reversed
itself, and my sink hole is, well, morphing, I guess, that the
ensuing reversals may actually be of some benefit, after all my
sundial may soon work properly, and my sink hole may shrink to
nothingness.

The sundial reversal went unnoticed until this post prompted me to
re-check it again. I wonder if that means all the navigation
satellites have reversed, too, and if that means that time must have
reversed, since GPSs seem still to work. That might explain why my
sundial still runs backwards.

All concerned should carefully monitor events in their vicinity and
call the chicken little hot line if anything significant breaks. Er,
anybody actually got that number?

Be alert out there, our sailing futures may all be at stake.

to much, we must.

Does a global magnetic reversal mean that all my electric motors will
run backwards?
Im not worried about my GPS as I can always read the display via a
mirror to correct for the reverse virtual image. Maybe I could just
put the batteries in backwards?

If my electric meter runs backwards, will the power company owe me
money? After the reversal will the off switch become the on switch?

Maybe the only thing that wont change is those 'chad' voting machines
in Florida .... ya think?

Will yankees begin to speak with an unintelligable drawl?

The motors I'm not too worried about. Now the head, ... , well ...

No, but when you switch off the lights, it will be even darker than
usual, due to the vacuum.

The power company will never owe you money, as more dark will become
the service standard.

Does that mean that Lucas will become the Prince of Light?

Actually, I think not. If you consider that those things which we screw
into sockets in order to see during times when it's dark are dark suckers
(really - the more powerful ones can suck dark from further out!), when all
is reversed, we'll be able to get some sleep during the daytime by turning
them on, as they'll blow dark, rather than suck it...

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a
clear night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize
that you are quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to
you that in the general scheme of things you are merely an
insignificant speck on the surface of the ocean; and are not nearly
so important or as self-sufficient as you thought you were. Which is
an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a
permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated
by your friends." - James S. Pitkin

I, for one, think we're missing the whole point. If the magnetic field
reverses, we can find a way to blame it on the government, if not
the UN, and sue.

Failing that, there's a gold mine in re-writing physic textbooks. I bet
the E and H fields of radio waves will reverse too, making our radios
inoperative...and TV won't work either...oh, wait..is that a benefit or
a problem?

I find it's easier just to have a copper hatband on the Tilley,
personally. In addition, if this magnetic reversal occurs, my wife
says I am already adept at sailing "green for port". Amazing how
that's improved my club racing times.

I already made one with the dull side out, just in case.
