Goofy: We Could Solve Global Warming Just By Jumping At The Same Time

...and thus making the earth take on a slightly different orbit.

This "theory" is obviously dumbass and in fact may simply be a hoax, a joke. Still, it's so goofy I thought I'd post it.

I saw something like this in the straight dope once. The amount of kinetic energy in the mass of all the humans on earth if they somehow jumped at the same time is insignificant compared to the mass of the earth. In other words, there is little humans can do to significantly alter the orbit of spaceship earth.

Enviromentalists wackos can stop global warming by keeping the pieholes shut and cutting off all that HOT AIR

Well, look who dropped in. Ace must have said the magic words.

Did you include Michael Moore?

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 16, 2006 02:44 PM

Damn! I forgot all about Michael Moore. Isn't he his own solar system or something?

I don't think this guy got very far in physics. Even if every human being weighed as much as Mount Everest, you can't move anything by jumping. Evidently people believe that you'd push the earth one way and then gravity would pull you back; they seem to forget that gravity is a mutual attraction and, so, you would pull the earth back to you with exactly the same force you just pushed against it with. Net result: zero.

Everyone would have to be on the same side of the planet for that to work.

Either playfully teasing the majority who don't know any basic Newtonian mechanics (conservation of momentum), or willfully ignorant.

Wait a minute guys. You're over looking the power of bouncing boobs. I'm sure if we could get the women out there jumping up and down naked all world conditions would improve and besides, it would be good exercise for them. I for one think there needs to be more public support for this kind of Global warming solution.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)

[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

Reports: The A-10 Thunderbolt, better known as The Warthog, has been unleashed on Iran
It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.
