From a broadcast engineering forum I read comes this bit of humor: "Too many folks in the summer heading for mountaintop hikes. More mass farther from from center of earth will make the planet slow down due to conservation of energy. Same mass traveling a longer distance in the same amount of time requires more energy without which the compensation is to slow down. :-)". Referring to ... well now I don't remember what this was a reply to, but I thought it was funny, and appropriate to share here.

No, it is not an April Fools Day joke. Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson (Democrat) said during an Armed Services Committee hearing last week (2010) that Guam is in danger. "My fear that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize", he said in all seriousness. up.gif hockeygrin.gif huh.gif doh.gif dizzy.gif shakehead.gif lol.gif eek.gif agree.gif hmmm.gif
