Title: Earth's magnetic field having a wobble...

In an area stretching from Africa to South America, Earth’s magnetic field is gradually weakening. This strange behaviour has geophysicists puzzled and is causing technical disturbances in satellites orbiting Earth. Scientists are using data from ESA’s Swarm constellation to improve our understanding of this area known as the ‘South Atlantic Anomaly.’

Hopefully the magnetic poles aren't about to reverse...

It's because 5G is taking all the magnetic waves to feed the coronavirus sent here to subjugate us by the Illuminati of Area 51.

Are you certain?

I thought that chemtrails caused it.

No, chemtrails cause clouds, which are actually unicorn farts, and then give rise to rainbows, which look so pretty but are actually giant arcs of hot steaming unicorn piss.

Gotta say, the Earths magnetic field flipping would be so exceedingly 2020, I'm kinda expecting it to happen now.

'parently...  We're Not All Doomed by Earth's Magnetic Field Flip (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2018/01/earth-magnetic-field-flip-north-south-poles-science/)

tho, what if it sets off the Yellowstone super volcano...

I currently live on the West of town. When the pole flips will I then be on the East side of town? And will this change what day my bin is emptied?

Worried of Oxford.

Perhaps Pete Townshend was onto something.

Probably, yes.  But more importantly, you should have your house re-valued.  Your home insurance may also be affected.

Thanks.... But what about vaccination?

Unicorns are naturally immune to all physical diseases but, like angels, they are subject to the temptation of power. They then become fallen unicorns in the cauldrons of Hell and may appear on Earth to tempt mortals into sin, taking the form of Findus lasagne.

Cudzo knows a LOT about unicorns.  Has the Brexit one turned up yet?  You know, the one that shits blue passports.

Tch!  The tall tales told about the Yellowstone caldera are just to cover up the fact that it's the location of the Illuminati's SEEKRIT underground headquarters.  If you listen carefully when Old Faithful erupts, you can hear George Soros signing cheques.

Everything I know about unicorns, I learnt from Roger. Possibly on his special night rides.  :D

And that particular unicorn doesn't shit blue passports, it just shits on everyone.

I thought a fallen unicorn was a narwhal.

Almost, a narwhal is a unicorn in big trouble. In deep water, in fact.

It's the seal-skin waterproof and spiral walking stick, please.

Correction- Unicorns are Narwhals that failed to pass a swimming badge.

False fact.  Unicorns are able to swim, they just don't want to as it messes with their hair.
