    Always one!!

    :rolleyes:

    christ mate, it a load of nonsense, how come there has been nothing on the telly or radio about in, just some wierd german website setting 1 page aside for this, and a few gimps on forums talking about it


    anyway when you jump the reason you fall back down is because the earth is pulling you towards it, therefore you are pulling it towards you too, this will cancel the force exerted from you jumping and landing on it

    Ha, that's so stupid. Meteors didn't change the Earth's orbit ffs, so how would a few people, (most likely on opposite ends of the earth thereby achieving no effect at all, plus what Mukki said) jumping do anything?

    If there are any people that believe this out there I would like to recommend that they don't do this as any change in the earths orbit could spin us quickly into the sun!

    (Like there is really someone out there that believes it...)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,383 ✭✭✭emeraldstar


    so apparently it'll help stop global warming?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Just when the weather got nice!!!!!

    You just wait, bet there'll be a change in the weather after tomorrow (Jump Day).... (not that the weather forecasters told me that or anything.... :D)

    Hmm, wasn't there some theory a while back that if every person jumped off something a metre high, the world would explode?*



    *I probably made that up
