Here's how I explain it:

It's when someone dedicates their life to a fraud, and the fraud comes crashing down around them.

A more important question: Will Santa Clause have to relocate when the pole shift occurs? :wink:

There are two kinds of polar shifts:

Magnetic Polar Shift
Lame Polar Shift

In the magnetic polar shift, the magnetic poles ("north" on your compass) vanish and then reappear -- only "north" is now "south" and vice-versa. It's a known phenomina, has happened many times, and is NOT correlated with ice age, meteor strikes, global floods, "Touched By An Angel" being canceled, clouds of flying poodles, or anything else. It just shifts. Life goes on as before the shift.

In the lame polar shift, the Earth suddenly stops rotating due to a rogue planet, Godzilla, angry deities, gigantic rogue comet, nuclear testing, the ice age, etc. After coming to a screeching halt, the planet suddenly flips on its back like a possum "playing dead." Catastrophes ensue. "My Mother The Car" suddenly comes back as a syndicated show, "Survivor" gets booted off the networks, volcanos erupt in downtown Los Angeles, Godzilla and tornaodes stomp Tokyo flat, mountains crumble, buildings implode, and poodles are flung through the air by hurricane force winds. Only cockroaches survive to evolve.

So far, we've seen no evidence that the lame pole shift takes place, ever took place, or is likely to take place outside a few overheated imaginations.

let me explain this: (Byrd did a good job with the definition of both magnetic and the physaical shift.)

These magnetic shifts do happen and are recorded to happen. On the spreading ridges of the tectonic plates you can take a special measuring instrument that looks at the magnetic filed of the rocks and tyou will see bands of magnetic direction. Some of them are like now, and others are opposite.

You see when the rocks solidify the magnetite and other magnetic minerasl in the rock get trapped in their current position and are permanently stuck that way. Thus if they are facing one way they will always stick that way even if the magnetic poles flip. That is how we know continental drift works (not the only reason by far, but one of the "prooving" reasons). If the physical poles flipped we would get alot more destruction than we see now. There is no way ancient monuments or archaeological artifacts would be able to survive the shift. I can spenmd hours listing off archaeological places that are older than 3600 years ago and are still standing.

---------------------------------


Please so we know you are not a troll (sorry but we have had several lately) can you answer this question for me/us:

What evidence do you have for the existanbce of Planet X? Why do you believe PX exhists?

Thanks

Dan

Polar shift = period of time in which a polar bear is available for viewing at a public zoo - not to exceed eight hours/day unless overtime is paid.

There's also a "steller pole shift" so to speak. The earth's axis wobbles at a rate of, if I recall right 32000 years. This doesn't affect the level or location of the seasons but it does make the location or stellar north change and therefore we have diffrent north stars. Also techncially winter will be on June 21 in the northern hemisphear in about 16000 years.
In any case, not something to worry about

Maybe my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandson will worry about it :P but probably not.

Oh now THIS is an important question!, which has not been concidered at all up untill now. For instance how will the reign deer know where to go if the continents shift, they could dump all the presents over the newly formed oceans! disaster!! Has nancy informed santa, is he in his 'safe' location, did he put the reign deer to sleep, so they wouldn't suffer post pole shift, these questions need answering people. wolfkc you havent per chance any evidence have you, knowing how good you are at 'finding' such stuff :wink:

What about all those elv's those little legs wont keep them above water for long, bless.

This is serious

Action MUST be taken

SAVE SANTA

Santa has no problem delivering presents to the entire world in one night, even with Earth's bloated population. After the pole shift, when 90% of the population is dead, I'm sure he'll have plenty of time to find the survivors.

I think the big problem we need to worry about right now is: How many Planet X sightings can be attributed to Rudolph's red nose? Is he a disinfo agent?

End KenTalk on this matter.

[begin bunnytalk]

Santa claus and the easter bunny are part of the govt. conspiracy to create a false sense of security and distract people from the truth. The holiday lights and tree hunting for Christmas is just to cause so much light pollution in the skies to blot out any sign of Planet X.

The chocolate given by the easter bunny is to cause stomach aches and shugar rushes so all images of Planet X seen in the sky is given to sugar delusion and immediately forgotted.

And don't get me going on that great Irish holiday. :-)

Precession of the Equinoxes, sure, but it's 26,000 years. Plus, superimposed on this is a much smaller 18.6-year cycle of variation called 'nutation' (nodding), caused by the rotation of the Moon's orbit.

Here's a cool link about it:

http://www.pietro.org/Astro_Util_Sta...Visualized.htm

So, in fact, we do have tiny cyclic pole shifts all the time. Nutation is no consolation for Nancy though, being of tiny amplitude over a long period of time.

Hey I hadn't heard of that before. Way cool, always enjoyable to learn!

There are third- and fourth-order effects as well, getting lower in amplitude each time (I've forgotten if they have specific names). But I love the way that these things interlink - for example nutation is linked to the eclipse cycle, because it reflects the way that the 'nodes' (where the plane of the Moon's orbit intersects the plane of the ecliptic) precess round the Earth.

I've hesitated to mention nutational effects before, because I've always had a feeling that the ZetaCult would perversely take them as some sort of evidence for their lunacy, but since we're on the Eve of Destruction...
