| #7 Read the article guys, our sun flips every 11 years. This is just the first time it has been observed in another star. |

| #6 Very cool! I've read things about the polar flip here, too, OldSpook. Mr. Wife has been more concerned about that than either global warming or cooling. I think it might affect his ability to email or travel or something. |

| #1 Scene: a secret alien control center on the fourth planet to tau Bootis Gadzorb's left tentacle curled around the shiny lever of the Radio Shack subminiature DPDT switch which protruded from a hastily-drilled 3/8" hole in the panel, just below the rheostat controlling the all-important nucleon inhibitor. If his supervisor, Sub-Tribune Nognor, ever discovered the unauthorized modifications Gadzorb and his 1-watt soldering iron had made to their star's control system, he'd be exiled to the spice mines for life. Though he well understood the danger, Gadzorb had a playful streak he just couldn't repress. A mischievous grin on his facial orifice, he flicked the switch to its opposite position. "There!" he cackled, "That ought to get the Earth=humans going!" |
