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!
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.

Maybe they'll settle for a flat gravitational field?

Yo mamma so big that... n/m
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?

I'll be able to float to work in the morning? Or take big moonsteps? Cool!

It could be worse, we could be combing Ozone over from areas around the north pole.
It's easy to stand out when the general level of competence is so low.
In related news, officials from North Stonington, CT and Hopkinton, RI have cited their recent border confusion on the "fattening" of the Earth.

is this going to be the transforation of the earth into DiscWorld?
I sure hope not. Wouldn't want to see everything on the surface of the planet suddenly fly off into space....
