Memory from 2011 Facebook. Too funny to forget!

Has anyone heard of a switch in the magnetic poles? We've got a boyscout compass that insists on pointing south all the time.

Darrel Drummond You got one of the new ones. When it points South go the opposite direction. If that does not work, wait till dark and follow the north star.

Bill R Pedler Must have gotten a pre-release version of the 2013 model. But, yes, the North Pole is moving by about 70 miles per year.

Karen Lochte Well if north is really south, does that mean east is really west?

Karen Lochte Wow! So if you want to go southeast to get to the North Shore, do you really have to go northwest to get to the South Shore? This could be a terrific hike! Be sure to take photos for us all. Hee-hee-hee.

Mike Hause Or does it simply point to that which you truly desire...where's the rum?

Deloris Watts Time to buy a new compass.

Karen Lochte Furthermore, if you were to stand at the south pole, would it point north? Or would it still point south?

Dawn Elaine Hause So, does that mean that North America is now South America, and Northern Europe is now Southern Europe, and Eastern Europe is now Western Europe, and East Asia is now West Asia, and South Africa is now North Africa? Also, if the North Pole is moving at 70 miles a year, would that mean that Kalamazoo is now the North Pole?

Dawn Elaine Hause Oh my goodness! I just happened to think... if North is South and East is West, what do we do with the Middle East and the Mid West????

Dawn Elaine Hause Okay, so We are discussing the compass oddity and Cameron says: Mom, you have a compass in your night stand drawer. He goes to get it, and IT points north. Put it next to the boyscout compass and it goes wacky. Now, the other compass is the one my step dad got when he was in the 3C's... MUCH MUCH older than Mike's really old compass. Hmmmmm......
