If you spit from a standing position and it freezes before hitting the ground, it's at least 40 degrees below zero (fahrenheit).

Scientifically that depends on one's height.If you spit from a standing position and it freezes before hitting the ground, it's at least 40 degrees below zero (fahrenheit).
TD's would freeze at 30 below zero.
Sequ's would not freeze until it got to 120 below zero.

For now. The Earth also 'switches' polarity from time to time, too.Venus is upside down.
Ah, but Venus rotates in the opposite direction of Earth. Even when the Earth's magnetic field swaps ends, the rotation referenced to the solar ecliptic doesn't change.
Awesome.....
I remember 5.. Larry, Moe, Curly, Curly Joe, Shemp... Don't remember the other guy...
So the Bible story about Jonah is possible.
Except for the God part.![]()

Travis, you're right. I had forgotten about that. How do you think that happened? Venus is the only one that rotates like that. Large meteor strike? Close encounter with a wandering celestial body?
But thats just your opinion.
Well it certainly wasn't the Big Bang, that would violate the conservation of angular momentum.![]()
I don't think anyone knows for sure at this point....but it would appear the most popular explanation is a big whack.
From http://www.astro.lsa.umich.edu/users/cowley/lecture26/ :
"The standard explanations for the retrograde rotation of Venus and Uranus are two big whacks. To my knowledge, detailed calculations, such as those carried out for the earth-moon system have not yet been made for Venus. Presumably this situation will change, since we need plausible answers to the questions:
How plausible is it that a whack so large as to cause the rotational axis of a planet to reverse would leave the axis of rotation nearly perpendicular to the orbital plane?
What happened to the debris from the big whack? Why didn't a satellite form? "
A big whack? Is that a scientific term?![]()
What's the odds that 2 planets would get hit by 2 big whacks?
Yes :p
Depends on how much crap there is in the space around Venus and Uranus to deliver said whacks...
Because WOMEN are from Venus and they ed everything up.

Actually this is considered a scientific impossibility and is widely believed to be a hoax.In 1891, British seamon James Bartley spent two days in a whale's stomach after being swallowed alive - and then lived another 35 years to tell about it.
They had an experiment on Myth Busters about how cold it would have to be to piss in the air and have it freeze before it hits the ground. They got the temp down to -95 degrees Celsius and it still didn't freeze.
That's a good show. Although I liked it better when it was just Jamie and Adam.
I had something really funny to say here, but I dont want to hijack your thread into the political forum.
I havent watched it in a while. They have new hosts???
WHAT THE !??!?!?!?!
No but they added on some assistants, I guess they would be called.
