WHAT IF...

   Something had me thinking today. What if everyone on Earth jumped in the air at the same exact moment? Would Earth spin a little faster in that brief period and people would land maybe a foot away from where they jumped from? Or maybe the planet would be so confused, we'd shoot out and end up in orbit somewhere by Andromeda. Hmm... This is one for the scientists.

   Also, we must think about how to spread the word that everyone is jumping at a certain time. Third world countries would have a hard time receiving the news and time zones might mess up the plans. And there is less than a one second frame where people have to jump, considering  "the average max standing jump is about 0.53 seconds" (wiki).

   I think it would be so cool if we could get half a population to do this. Even just a town jumping would make it feel like an earthquake.

   While we're on the subject, I also think it would be awesome if we could get an entire stadium of people to make weird noises at the same time. A USA chant sounds great no matter how many people join in, but if 40,000 people said it at the same time, nothing would be more patriotic. What else... oh, an entire stadium where everyone claps at the same time, sings in harmony, inhales at the same time, and/or exhales at the same time... all cool to me.

   Unison has a way of making me smile so if anyone knows where an event like this is taking place, please, LET ME KNOW. okay

~This is not the only thing I wonder about. I'll keep you posted.
