Today is World Jump Day. First held in 2006, the idea was to combat global warming by getting enough people positioned so that when they all jumped simultaneously the Earth's orbit would change. There were, of course, those who wanted to counter the project with a Contra Jump.
For those without a sense of humor, there were actually sites debunking it as if people would've thought it was a serious endeavor.
Sadly, this event seems to have passed into forgotten history. I may jump anyway.

Well let's all jump for joy today, there's lots to be joyful about in spit of the deary news. I shall go out into my garden before I go to work & have a jump of joy :)
ReplyDeleteJump for joy despite the news! Yes, that's a concept I can get behind :)
DeleteI've noticed as I get older my jumps aren't as good as they used to be. Even though being pretty short jumping has never been a strong point. At least getting height in my jump. I will jump today though for this day. Happy Friday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm also older and short, so we should combine our jumps :)
DeleteLove it ...lol 😉. I think I'll jump with you, are you ready? Thanks for the smiles and Happy Friday! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteYes! Ready, set... :)
DeleteI couldn't get either link to work, but I will jump with you. I've always been small and prided myself on my ability to jump. I'll gladly jump with you, even though the science doesn't seem to support the effect (grin).
ReplyDeleteI'm going straight to edit those links. Bummer, but most people have moved on I suppose. I just got such a kick out of the whole thing lol
DeleteSo funny! I didn't know that. My knee hurts too much to do any jumping, but jump another time for me. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not jumping high, but I'm jumping for you, too!
