Reply to: Powerful Chile Quake 'Shifted Earth's Axis'

Yeah the love swing would move the Earth too. But as the pumping forces are tangential to the Earth's surface in this case, the Earth's angular momentum would be changed, but Earth + love swingers angular momentum will be unchanged. Try it on a children's playground roundabout if you want to get on the register

FTFY

What if pumpee is on a love swing?

The Earth does move when you have rumpy pumpy, but the Earth+pumpee centre of gravity remains unchanged.

Your state of mind a few weeks after the earth moves, when you see the result of the pregnancy test

oh dammit, when gf chef said the earth moved for her on Saturday I thought she was talking about me..

Bloody women. Men take the trouble to learn about all the sensitive spots, take the time to warm them up, pump away like mad and then they claim it was the earth what done it. Not exactly gratitude is it?

putird rotting flesh.

Just add some chili and nobody will notice.

[Churchill]

But the methane will cause global warming and we'll all drown in a sea of putird rotting flesh.

Could be worse.

[minestrone]

Does that mean I can invoice for extra time this month?

[Mich the Tester]

I often think my chili quakes shift the earth’s axis.

If we line everyone up and point them in the relevant direction and all fart at the same instant we'll get the time back - probably!

Interesting article for the day!

Am listening to a discussion behind me about us losing an estimated 6.8 microseconds off the length of a day.

Ahr quatzch

I need more time every day not less. Basterds.
