"If it looks like a , and quacks like a , we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands." - Douglas Adams (English Writer) 1952-2001

Just be ready to do whatever it takes to survive. And I mean whatever it takes. If it takes degenerating into an animal that cannibalizes or murders other humans for what they have and lives in whatever conditions are available, then be ready to. (assuming survival is what you're after.)

(assuming survival is what you're after.)It isn't just survival, I think the most important thing is the preservation of our scientific knowledge.How can we perserve that so when the magnetic field re-stabilizes, we can resume scientific progress where we left off.
Is the one we know with almost 100% certianty will happen,the reversal of the earths magentic field.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversalThe last time this happened was 780,000 years ago and when it happens, the magnetic field loses 90% of its strength. As it satands right now, there's already a magnetic dead spot off the coast of South America which hints that the poles may be ready to start reversing. Much of the earth will become uninhabitable. The worlds population will plumet from 7+ billion to just a few million. There will be massive wars fought to be the few lucky who survive. Civilization as we know it will come to an end and there will be a struggle to preserve all of mankinds scientific knolwedge.How can we prepare for this thing that we know is going to happen??
Statistical analysis shows no evidence for a correlation between reversals and extinctions.

She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?

Never mind. It's worse that the exact pronunciation of classical Latin is lost forever
