Holy christ according to CNN the sun just launched a giant fireball into space

**Arzen** · 12-27-2006, 03:18 PM

it's not going to hit the earth but scientists say that it could cause geomagnetic storms which could severly disrupt sattelite communication

12-27-2006, 03:22 PM

A ha. No more Florida lotto!

What if there was a flash of radiation from the sun that sterilized all life on the side of the planet facing the sun but left the other side relatively unaffected?

I smell a Michael Bay movie.....

The ecosystem would collapse and we'd all die anyway.

Parts of it .... but crops in Canada aren't going to care that crops in China got fried.

**Arzen** · 12-27-2006, 03:39 PM

people in canada are going to care that sixty percent of the world's landmass is no longer producing oxygen for them to breath

But when 60% of the world's population is dead over there, everything will balance out!

no sir

It's okay, most oxygen is produced by algea in the oceans! We just have to figure out how to breathe water and we're set!

Kzin · 12-27-2006, 03:44 PM

Ah, that's interesting .... how rapidly would oxygen levels drop worldwide and how many people could be saved until they started rising again.

**Arzen** · 12-27-2006, 03:46 PM

Hell how would it affect other things, like the weather? We'd probably get an ice age or something.

Cybren · 12-27-2006, 03:47 PM

Maybe it'd boil away the oceans

**Arzen** · 12-27-2006, 03:52 PM

maybe it'd reverse the polarity of the trigonometric gravitron axis!

Seems like global warming would speed up because half the planet's ability to fix CO2 would be dieing ... but also half the animals crapping out methane-producing shit would be dieing, so maybe not.

Look on the bright side, a couple days after the flight, you could be the Invisible Cronik!

This reminds me of Family Guy when Adam West goes rolling around in toxic waste to try to get super powers.

Quote:

"Do I have superpowers yet?"

"I'm afraid you have lukemia"

"oh."

Not to say I'd be adverse to invisibility

It'd be like I was pearl cambell, but in the real world!

**Arzen** · 12-27-2006, 09:47 PM

Welshy · 12-27-2006, 10:52 PM
