WORLD JUMP DAY
We're looking for volunteers
today. July 20th is "World Jump
Day" and the supporters of this
unofficial holiday are looking for
600 million people to participate.
According to their logic, if 600
milion people all jump up at the
exact same moment the impact
of their landing will change the
orbit of the earth, end global
warming and lengthen the day!
Now scientists dispute this
theory. In fact scientists say that
if one billion people jumped at
the same time the impact of
their landing would be the
equivalent of 500 tons of TNT.
Sounds like a lot but it isn't in the
total scheme of things and certainly
not enough to change the orbit of
Earth! Still, if you'd like to join in
the experiment check on line to see
just when the jumpers will be "taking
off." I believe I'll just watch! Hope
you have a happy landing and that
all your NEWS is good!
