Isn't there a reason it's called Greenland rather than Whiteland?

Scientists are now saying that the Earth is reversing it's polarity. All
compasses will wind up pointing south. Imagine what that'll do. The
theory is that the reversing of polarity was the reason that Mars
eventually lost its atmosphere. Oh well.............

Forget that crap, where can I get a reversable compass?

Actually it won't matter, as long as you know your
compass will point south instead of north. It'll
be like learning the metric system by throwing away
your imperial measuring devices and buying metric
devices.


No it won't!


Just don't fly that day.


No problem.

OK, smartass, will east and west switch too? Does it rotate or flip?


Nature never flips. Besides, it's already a crap shoot. It's called
magnetic declination.


OK, Mr. Scientist, will magnetic south be exactly where magnetic north is
now, or will it be in a slightly different place, or maybe even on the
actual rotational pole?

One more thing that English majors don't know...
