RJG2 writes "MSNBC has an article stating that Earth's gravitational field has changed, becoming stronger towards the equator, thus becoming flatter. The cause has yet to be determined, but it is assumed changes in ocean levels are responsible."
Ask my ex workmate, it's the NT7 :)

My ex-workmate is rather convinced (don't ask me why:))) that changes like this are caused by the NT7 asteroid which, he believes, will shift earth's magnetism that everything will basicly destroy. Yup, he belives it does not hit the earth, it just passes by so that everything gets wicked. He might be almost blind, but he is a hellable coder. So prepare to get extincted!

Whew. That makes me feel SO much better about driving my Ford Excursion. And burning all of the coal for fuel. And having all of those methane-farting cows in the back yard. And pushing my two stroke gas lawn mower around my backyard. And then driving the Excursion some more. I thought I might have to start using the nuclear power grid instead of burning fuel oil pretty soon.
Now that your annecdotal evidence proves that global warming doesn't effect ocean levels, and that there has been no change in ocean levels over the last fifty years, I feel so much better.
It took centuries for explorers to convince the world that the earth was round. Now it's flat again. What are we supposed to teach our children?

So that explains all of the heat streaks (aka hot flashes), wildfires (heartburn), flooding (sweating), and earthquakes (mood swings) that have been going on lately.

Based on this information, if the earth loses about 1 second every year, and given: 60 secs/min *60 min/hr *24 hrs/day, there are 86,400 seconds in a day. It follows then that in 86,400 years, the earth stops and starts turning backwards. Obviously this has to be the explanation for geomagnetic reversals. The earth as a washing machine.

Well, the great thing about the Excursion is that even if the water levels do rise a few feet where you live you'll still be able to drive!! While all of the supposedly "Enviromentally Friendly" cars will be sitting there in pools rusting and leaking toxic stuff into the environment.
is this going to be the transforation of the earth into DiscWorld?

This is the Pole Shift that the Zeta's & others have been warning of since 1995.
Think it's just a coincidence that all the MONEY is disappearing? I spoke with a Ph.D who told me he had firsthand knowledge of this event.
Forget coding, start thinking about survival. You will need to be above 2,100 feet and underground. 90% fatality is predicted.
This is not a joke, you fucks, I am 100% serious.Get off the computers and look around you-- winds are picking up across the globe-- in the months ahead we will experience a societal meltdown as the planetary body causing the shift becomes visible to amateur scopes.
Get ready, stary calm, and remember, reincarnation is your best bet. Life doesn't just stop after you pass on.
Stay cool, & of COURSE verify all this & think for yourself.

maybe it's an early indicator of a gravitational field reversal
I sure hope not. Wouldn't want to see everything on the surface of the planet suddenly fly off into space....

Maybe they'll settle for a flat gravitational field?

Judging by the diagram, this means that the Earth is getting shorter and fatter. Is this news? Thats what happens when you get older...
Cool! I can loose weight not by dieting, but by just moving further north!

Dunno. Who cookin' the Poles?
I've been blaming my weight gain on candy bars and junk food. What a relief to find out it's actually just more gravity!
And maybe the shrinking waistband in all my pants is due somehow to the warping effect the extra gravity is having on space?
