!!! CHECK YOUR COMPASS!!! MINE ARE ALL 180 DEGREES OFF!!!

A) Compass needs to be a decent quality
B) Compass works best around room temp or body temp.
C) Keep your compass away from cell phones, PCs, LCDs, ANYTHING electrical.

Place your compass in a spot where it wont move, level, warm, away from electronics. Take a reading on day one. Mark it down. Watch it daily.

Routine makes for good science.

:qft:





You seem to have issues. Thread: I Fantasize myself as Draupadi,the Lady with Five Husbands.

He seems to have found himself with a week long time out for
being a trolling asshat.

On my way out I saw two dead birds, one was hanging upside down from one leg from a tree limb and the other was just splayed out on the ground. Mandy


Are you for real?

What kind of birds?

Where are you?

Ahahahahahahah riiiiiiiiigggggghhhht......

I gave him a week off to figure that out.

But I still love you guys.

Words matter, dude.

I really did... I promise, it was sad and hilarious all at the same time. The poor birdie looks like he just was hanging out and had a stroke or something. I HAVE A PICTURE OF IT. :( Can you post a picture to Youtube????? I have several. They are just really far away. Now you guys are gonna make me go back and take a close up! I was actually kinda worried that people in the parking lot were gonna think I was up to no good. I already looked like an idiot staring up into a tree!

Could the amount of static electricity in the air affect the compass direction?
For the past couple of weeks the static here has been worse than normal (and I live in Oregon, where it rains 9 months out of the year) and I noticed when I hold the compass there is a bigger deviation than when I set it down. It is still off a bit when I set it down but not as much as when I am holding it.

Even you are magnetic

He really didn't do shit except confuse 2 different people who's I'd's rolled over. If the current ac got timed out for a compilation of shit, wtf happenned to the last ac with that number? How is it a mod doesn't get ac number assignments?

I banned AC946696. I simply got confused for a bit. Happens
to the best of us.

my actual compass and my iPhone compass are about 10 degrees off

Could the magnetic poles reverse in as little as 30 days?

"Scott Bogue, a geologist at Occidental College in Los Angeles and his colleague, Jonathan Glen of the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California, went to Nevada to study a series of well-preserved lava flows. As each flow had cooled into solid rock, it preserved the orientation of the magnetic field at the time.

The two geologists found that the rocks in one particular lava flow had reoriented themselves a whopping 53 degrees in one year, suggesting that the magnetic field had changed direction at approximately one degree per week.

This is only the second report of such a speedy reversal. The first report, published in 1985, was based on a study of rocks formed from ancient lava flows at Steens Mountain, Oregon. That report, which indicated a change of three to six degrees per day, has never gained widespread acceptance.
Although this article says the first report was published in 1995, I mention a report published in 1985 by Prévot, Mankinen, Coe and Grommé in both "Not by Fire but by Ice" ( p.191) and "Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps" ( p. 95).

Regardless of when that first report was published, this new discovery bolsters the theory that reversals can happen very quickly, over a matter of years instead of millennia.
I've received a lot of flack over my assertions that magnetic reversals can occur in as little as 30 days. I cited the rapid reversals in the lava flows on Steens Mountain as part of my proof, so I'm glad to see this new discovery in Nevada."(bold added, ed.)

AND, have you ever been hurt by the R A P I D, and suprising STRENGTH of a reversal?

be careful playing with magnets, especially the B I G ones.

very fast is the norm. very strong, very fast, no mystery.

Post it to a photo dump account. And do a close up:)

I know it is far away, but here ya go. :) He was so sad looking, just hanging there.

Still off 20 degrees.


I just compared my iphone compass to my traditional hiking compass and they are 20 degrees apart as well. I live in the pacific NW as well OP....

There is surrealistic beauty in that photo, serious. Poor bird.

I agree. Here is a different angle... [link to i1210.photobucket.com]

No you weren't. I had a the newly purchased compass in my left hand and the camera phone in my right. :) It's all good.

Off to meet the Lunesta butterfly. Night night.
