World Jump Day!

Tomorrow is World Jump Day! Years of effort to organize this have resulted in 599,184,016 people signed up to jump tomorrow, in an effort to drive the earth into a new orbit. This will stop global warming, extend daytime hours, and create a more homogenous climate. Get more information at www.worldjumpday.org

In theory, it's impossible. I hope you know that.

well, of course, but it's good for a laugh.

So, who's jumping? Maybe we'll get a nice, recordable tremor out of this.

also, how many people have heard of this already?

Colder days = less money spent on air conditioning, lower oil prices, cheaper to run more computers at once!!!!!

People still call it 'global warming'? I thought that term had been dropped.

Fun fact: The Netherlands would actually become cooler if all this mumbo jumbo about \'global warming\' and what not was true.

Exactly, hence I was wondering why they weren't using the more correct term "climate change".

Because it's harder to gather easily influencable people (aka sheep) to your cause without a term coined through sensationalism.

Please tell me this isn't going to turn into a "global warming is a myth" thread.

This isn't turning into a global warming is a myth thread.

Unless you want to complain about that possiblitiy AND start argueing about it.

You're this close to doing that with your little rolling eyes thingy. : /
