I was sitting in the backyard this afternoon and on the radio I heard that some wacko thinks that if he can get 60 million people to jump at the same time, the earth's orbit will become wider, thus increasing how many hours in a day, and decreasing global warming.
The project will comence on July 20th (tomorrow), at 11:39 am.
This man is a fool.
1. why should we do this? what if he is just some idiot trying to get the lazy hippies (and al gore) off of their asses.
2. if the earths orbit did move, which is impossible, then the gravitational pull between the sun, moon, and other planets will get all kerscuffled and we will either get sucked into the sun, collide into another planet or the moon, or we might all freeze to death from the sun being farther away.
There is no way he can assemle 60 million people to jump at the same time! I'd be surprised if he got 100,000. And plus there are different time zones. So, what is 11:39 for him, could be 2:39 for another person,thus, screwing up the time when everyone jumps!
Ok then, how is he going to get 60 million people to visit his website then? This is the first time I heard about it, and plus, he is barely giving people the proper amount of time for them to find his website, considering he only gave it about a day?
actually the website has been around for a while, and according to the lady on 97.7 he has alot of people to jump already. Even if this fails, imagin all the people moshing at the System of a Down concert in Torornto?
I'm not getting up to do this.
I am so lazy. I live in a town full of lazy people. Like a lazy town. kinda stupid, huh?
Some guy in my school talked about this a couple of months ago. I dunno if this will work, but if that can bring down the heat, I'm all for it.
I'm doing it.
Uh. This will only ever have a remote chance of working if all the people were on one side of the world.
Fun fact: If the earth's orbit was shifted by as much as even an inch away from the sun, we'd plunge into a new ice age that covered the globe, including the equator. We're perfectly aligned to hold life onour planet exactly where we are, down to the EXACT position.
On the website it shows how many people are registerd for the jump, and its very close to the goal.
I think I'll jump for sh!ts and giggles
Ice age, eh? Better than this ****ing heat wave.
Dude that site looks so ignorant, like that they are about to kill us all and they still think they are gonna save the world! I remember back on 9/11 the world turned on it's axis like .0003 inches and that caused tidal waves! Imagine if they are going to cause the world to go into a whole different orbit!
Oh well, hope it all blows over by tommorow, or that most of the people forget to jump.
My grimness prevents me from jumping or feeling joy. It's true, my mom wrote a note.
You make many good points and have swayed me. **** jumping.
dumb ****s
Absurdly pretentious surface scum, thinking it can make such a significant difference in numbers with such little effort. If anything, I want fewer hours in my day.
"Oh yes, through our collective efforts, we can change the world to more suit our own needs, giving us more hours everyday to work, play Chronicles of Legends of Final Kingdom Empire Quest Tactics XXIV Upgrade Expansion 3, eat, and update myspace!" Too bad the sort of people who actually agree to participate in something like this aren't agreeing to jump over the edge of a cliff.
they should jump off a bridge and see if they can make a wave to iran. mwahahahha.
No, you laughed.
Hey, she could have laughed out loud'd. Leave her be!
i lol'd
I'll be jumping.. only because its the most retarted thing I have ever heard of and I am jealous that I am not the guy who thought of this.
Edit: I may not be jumping. Lol. Its at 6:39:13 here.. thats too early.. if its AM I mean.
And yes NeXidala.. lol.. I like being more retarted than others.. it pleasures me.. for some odd reason.
it didn't work. :(
Oh well I forgot to do it anyway, I was out golfing.
I was sleeping.
I was masterbating.
I was busy not caring...
I was sleeping.. to **** early for me.
I heard about this sometime last year. It obviously didn't work...
There was the one small problem of the Earth weighing 75,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times more than the average person.
There was also the other small problem of something called 'gravity'.
Any miniscule amount we manage to move the earth away in a jump, the weak gravity from our bodies would have just pulled it back in again.
Congratulations. You managed to move the Earth less the the radius of a single electron, and then undid your work.
Not to mention the fact that people on opposite sides of the world would be effectively cancelling themselves out.
I'm reminded of that bridge that supposedly fell when a bunch of soldiers marched in perfect step over it. So if we all jump simultaneously to the planet's natural vibration, wouldn't the Earth explode?
I wont test it to check... :s
Yeah its annoying. I hate it when its 35 degrees. Worse, its probably gonna go up next year. Imagine have a daily 40 degrees...insane.
Thats like my hot tub!
Your mama is so fat that when she jump for joy, she got stuck.
