Captionating. . .

According to the Commentarama Science Division, a rare but not-unbelievable scientific event occurred last night at 3:30 am EST. Apparently, the Earth accelerated in its orbit, causing the planet to literally pull away briefly from everyone on the back side of the Earth. The photo below captures the effects of that moment. At least, we think that’s what happened. If not, you tell us what is going on. Give us a caption for this photo. . .



* Special thanks to USArtguy, whose idea we have totally stolen, without giving him even a hint of credit.

    Always Refreshing. Never Filling. Drink Beijing Lite Beer (Or Else!)

    Would the Earth tilt off its axis if everyone in China jumped at the same time?
