GPS Used To Monitor Continental Drift
metz2000 writes "BBC News is reporting that a team of scientists from Nottingham (UK) are using GPS to measure sea levels and continental drift. The team has around 50 stations across the UK, and use GPS technology to track miniscule changes in altitude and location. This allows the team to gain an understanding of how the UK landmass is likely to change over the coming centuries. They have discovered that the British Isles are tilting, with the north of the country gaining altitude and the south of the country 'sinking'."
Forget him. Go back to your purple-faggot-delicious gheymes section, Simo Niker!
NIKER!
Ordinarily, GPS isn't accurate enough. In fact, there's a significant margin of error with it. But the scientists doing the readings knew what to look for. When the GPS gave them the readings they wanted, after retrying the experiment three times, they went public with their findings. It's questionable at best. But that's how science works. They knew the results they wanted. And when they got them, they stopped there and claimed victory. Read on to find out why they expected just what it is they found.
The reason for the sinking wasn't stated in the article, but it's well known, already. My huge cock is resting on the southern shore of the island, pushing down on it. Because magma is a thick liquid, solid objects don't sink quickly through it and it doesn't move quickly. Even though my cock is weighing down on the southern end, the north end doesn't go down. In fact, the displaced magma pushing out from the south end is causing the north end to rise, and a slight rise in the sea floor under the English Channel. This has also been observed by use of sonar from British ships in the channel.
This isn't news, but perhaps I could solve it if I could find a position by which I can rest my huge cock on the north end of the UK. It would even out with the north end sinking back down and the south end rising up to previous levels.
It's rather amazing that GPS is sensitive enough to note the changes. The landmass is massive. It's also amazing that a cock could be large enough to move a landmass. But it's happening.
I hope this clears things up.
FAG!
Hey, yea you... the drunk assface. SHUT THE FUCK UP. Shit, a waste of flesh like you can't even crapflood properly.

Probably due to the influx of Negroes and other sub-human races which are infiltrating the South.
