Warming and Slowing the World
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?"
Offtopic, but funny as hell.
UPDATE: This post has been updated. Go to this thread, HISTORY OF THE WORLD BEFORE AND AFTER SLOWDOWN.
What to do if you have mod points
If you modded the parent down for being offtopic, the amendment makes it on-topic, please go there and mod it, +1 Funny. If you thought the parent History of the World was funny, go to the provided link and Mod the addition, +1 Funny. If you modded the parent down, please do not be a NAZI and go to the new link. If the new thread gets excessively modded down, that means some of you NAZIs did not listen to me, and went to the link just to mod it down. Please leave the parent thread at +1, if you want to mod something up, mod the new thread. If you want to mod something down, please do pick a thread not written by Commienst. If this thread gets modded to -1, that means you did not hear a word of my last sentence, and modded me down.
If you already read the parent thread and are too lazy to follow the link to the new I have pasted the amendment, below:
HISTORY OF THE WORLD BEFORE AND AFTER SLOWDOWN. (Score:5 Funny)
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, [slashdot.org] 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 am into the copy and paste.

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)

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.
