If it was not too optimistic, it'd be a good idea. Well,/. works on moderations and meta-mods, so perhaps we could have something like that. Ok, mod him up folks
If I recall my biology/evolution classes in High School, humanoid forms ( ie, that ape before us... ) exist for some, what, 3 million years? Follow me: 250.000 yrs - 1 magnetic flip so 4 flips in a million years, or 12 flips while "we" were standing here. I suppose humans ( or apes or any other mamal for that matter ) at that time could not live without minimal O2 and other atmospherical components such as those we have today. So it can't have been that bad. Why should just THIS next one be the Magnetic Flip of Doomsday(tm) ? Bring it down.
