Blarney News:
Researchers lookin' through th' hubble telescope have found a startlin' discovery: All the othir planits in th' galaxy are spinin' th' other way thin most o' the planets in this solar systim. This is startlin' news an' researchers put forth a plan t' build anti-mattir engines t' get the earth spinin' the right way. Th' UN, th' US an the ivir important Canada hive endorsed this plan an' estimate's put gettin' th' earth spinin' th' right way should only take between two-hunred an' fifty t' four-hunred an' fifty years.

As the Earth slows down before reversal, does gravity increase? What direction, or how will water go down a drain? Will the holes in swiss cheese actually become outies. Can we blame Canada?

Wow, the Hubble telescope can see which direction planets in other solar systems are rotating?

will we feel a jolt when the earth reverses direction? you know, the sort of jolt you feel when going 20kmh in your car then switching to reverse and flooring it.
