Warming and Slowing the World

Posted by Hemos on from the slowing-things-down dept.

chrisleonard writes "We all know that global warming is supposed to heat the planet up, but did you know that it might also slow it down? According to a report from Belgium's Royal Observatory (as reported here by astronomy.com), if the days seem a little longer to you than they used to, it might not be just old age catching up with you. Would it be wrong to call the interaction of the world's warming temperatures and its slowing rotation ... a snowball effect?"

    If you go to this new thread, I adapted the post to this story. I added:

    A.D. 2001: World slows and starts warming.

    A.D. 2050: World is now going so slow its orbit is reversed.

    A.D. 2040: World is going backwards in time now because of the reveresal. Time from now on will repeat the past.

    A.D. 2030: Repeat of A.D. 2030.

    Etc.,etc. After this the World gets real boring, nothing but a cycle of reruns!

    A.D./B.C.???(Date Unkown) God after the torture of watching nothing but reruns of the World writes an 11th Commandment, and then kills himself.

    11th Commandment
    I know my son Commienst has trolled much in the past, and that this post is redundant, but he has decided to repost it now that it is rendered more hilarious and ontopic. His karma as of 2/18/01 at 4:55 AM is -4, it is my last commandment that he be rectituded, before my death. Mod this up, ye faithful, IT IS MY FINAL COMMANDMENT.


    I did not add much, but you should mod the thread up, so new people can see the better version, instead of reading the one you originally read.

    By the way, I have the post saved on my hd, but not the whole thread. Here is what I did not paste:

    "HISTORY OF THE WORLD (Score:5, Funny)

    by Yu Suzuki (dural@doramail.com) on Tuesday May 23, @09:27PM CDT"

    Yu Suzuki, is the guy who made Shenmue. He is really fucking funny if you read through his posts, you can tell it was him who wrote it. Jraxis just fucking pasted it. I do not know why you think he wrote the original. Jraxis is remarkably unfunny.

    I cannot find the original thread, slashdot has such a shitty search. If you read Yu'sother posts you can surmise that he wrote it, originally.

    I am into the copy and paste.
