Seriously. I believe a magnetic realignment will happen. Today, tomorrow, a million years? I don't claim to know. But if it does happen tomorrow I think the lights will still work. It's be like turn the plug in the socket 180 degrees.

Now, compasses on the other hand... And we'd have to name a South Star so we wouldn't get lost in the Northern Hemisphere :hmm:.

Simply, I do not know if the earth's poles may switch anytime soon. It has happened before, though, and that seem to have been no pleasant experiences for dear old Earth's surface. If it happens now again, and so soon in the future, I think there is little or nothing we could do abut it anyway, and cannot avoid to suffer whatever is to be suffered from it. Since there is nothing we could do about preventing it, we could stay calm and stoic and wait and see without panicking and without going hysteric.
Yeah, we could do that...

Or...

We could start the looting! Whoohoo!

What those walls do in the privacy of their own homes is one thing, but I'll be dammed before they are allowed to marry. Vote no on Prop 556!

Oh, and the 2012 thing is a load of hoo-haa. The magnetic pole will not shift. Sunspot activity will not fry our satelites. Our atmosphere will not be stripped away due to massive particle bombardment emminating from the center of the galaxy. You'll still be able to complain about the rigged BCS ranking on 1 January.

You are in need to see this fantastic thriller from New Zealand, "The Quiet Earth", to get yourself grounded again!
