No big deal.. I got a compass, just wait untill the Earth's magnetic poles change. Then I'll be in deep chit.

BTW.. the poles are in the process of reversing.

Read this, this will tell you all about the magnetic poles changing. And what could potentially happen. Laugh at it, take is serious, think its a joke. Anyones opinion could go any direction. I for one happen to believe, at least some of what is said.

Your Speedometers won't work........

So everyone can simply estimate their speed....based on beer intake...of course that already happens..

But its going to happen...live your life to the fullest everyday.

Oh no! Last season I noticed some problems locking on my Norstar GPS in the 1000 Islands area.

As for the toilets, if the poles actually do reverse, the dumper is gonna flush up instead of down. This is not gonna be good!

All the more reason to keep blowing all my money on boats, booze and broads!
