Magnets

Geeks beware the magnetic poles are due to switch soon, there now follows a short list of imminent disasters
Magnets will fall off your fridge,:cry
The polarity on all of your electric motors will reverse.
You will over tighten screws with your electric screwdrivers.
You will be unable to erect that shelve (and be in serious trouble with your wife)
Magnetic door systems will be rendered useless.
Defibrillators will reverse your heart beat
Underground railway systems will grind to a halt.
Magnetic point systems will fail to operate.
One good thing about all this is Bill the bionic Belgian will no longer be afraid of magnets; he will also be able to walk through the metal detector at the airport
BYE :wave

 

You would still be in trouble with the wife (or girlfriend).

 

This event would also bring about massive floods and catastrophic weather, so we would be too dead to worry about magnets. Also this is not due for a few thousand years at least.

 

Do you mean the solar pole shift in 2012?The sun shifts poles every 11 years unlike the earth.

 

Here in the US, some of us are looking forward to another type of shift in 2012! :-D

Sorry, a bit off topic. :cool

 

I saw an ad on the web saying it'll be May 21, 2011.rolleyes

 

At least we'll be able to go someplace warm, like Tahiti, to see the Northern Lights.:dood

 

Four more years!Four more years! I wan't Obama voted back in just to see your reaction :-D

Other than that I'm indifferent:-D

Magnets.

 

Yeah, you mean the invasion of Canada by possible disgruntled USA citizens if they don't get what they want? Is that why you're collecting all those arms eh? :-D

Caution: one may not like the Arctic wind up here .... could blow the deserters right back down south.

@Rikky - I second your motion.

Magnets: on my fridge.

 

Not sure how you people let the thread wander to politicians! :confused I, of course was referring to the 2012 Summer Olympics. :-D

I did have some goose, shot in Canada and brought back to the states for lunch yesterday.

 

"Magnets will fall off your fridge". Yep, they be falling off my fridge for the last week or so....wobbles

 

I can only hope that this phenomenon will stop the grandkids from treating me like a fridge door.

I have added to my metal haul this year and at the moment am carrying around 8 pounds of spare parts.

 

And you thought that I was referring to politics, while I was thinking about the closure of 30 Tim Hortons shops in the USA. :confused http://www.theglobeandmail.com/glob...ack-shares-close-36-us-stores/article1794608/

Gives me goosebumps hearing about shooting down wild life, except for grizzlies.

 

Canadian coffee shops? WT...

As far as food, I eat meat. Now due to finances, and my boycott on Canadian products, and well, of course, the war, I would not travel up there to hunt. Actually do most of my hunting and fishing down the road at the grocery store. :cool

 

Hope you will find some fine Canadian moose. Ah, I forgot, if you're boycotting Canadian food, then settle for Alaskan moose or grizzlies at your grocery store.

PS: Beware, the packages may read - made in China.

How the heck did this thread change into this?

Honestly, when I read the thread title I read "magots" instead of magnets. DUH! :-D

 

Love me some 100% Angus beef! No Maggots please. :-D

 

This thread now includes NUTS:-D

 

When I first read the title I thought it was going to be:

"How do they #$%@*&$ work?"

Glad that has not filtered into here.
