World Jump Day Take part in the attempt to change the Earths orbit by having everybody jump at once! posted to science -> science by lasergeek, Feb 28th, 2005
While sure, knocking the earth of its axis is pretty far fetched, there have been experiments on smaller scales, where towns/cities have had "all jump at once" type events, that have had effects that could be picked up by what ever it its boffins use to pick up wiggles in the earth.
So it could create some kind of effect, even if its not really noticeable without hugely expensive high grade kit.
They say that earthquake in Sumatra a few weeks back shortened Earth's day by like 4 milliseconds. I don't think everyone on Earth jumping at once would do any better than that.
There should be an ulterior motive, like the time I got that large-breasted girl at work to jump up & down for like 15 minutes.
It's all fun and games until someone DESTROYS THE WORLD.
Yes, but wouldn't you want to be known as the species that destroyed their planet by jumping at the same time? That would be awesome!
We'd be all over the news on channel 1337 on planet Glorbiob.
Shweet. I am SO helping these psychos!
Ummm, wow. I guess these guys completely reject newtonian physics.
Still, cute. Like a person without legs trying to walk cute.
(and 6 million people couldn't do shit, even if it were possible)

6 million fat people could do shit, which is why I think we enlist the help of Wisconsin.
BURNED.

That was such the perfect day.
