No, and the person who wrote the thing seems to have avoided ambiguity. It says, "anti-North Korea," which is a nation, whereas "anti-North" is a vector direction opposite of north.

Icarus

To make matters more complex consider that.... If we walked northward to the pole and past the north pole, we would be headed in the direction of the south pole. Alas, our magnetic compass would tell us otherwise.

Come to think of it, North Korea is south of the North Pole.
How come?
Is it because South Korea is north of the South pole?

Seriously, to answer the question of what lies north of the North Pole.
The sky above it, could be one answer.
But I'm going for this one:
What lies north of the North Pole?
North Korea!

The sky does not lie north of the pole. It lies along a completely different coordinate axis.

So what happens in the case of a Velikovsky type fable (1) a very large object hits Jupiter and a 'comet' is ejected and deflected into the path of the earth causing its axis to change. This time it does not miss the earth to become another planet.
Earth could even start spinning north to south and the poles will shift.

(1) Worlds in Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky, much criticised, but such an event could still happen with Jupiter attracting bodies like rogue planets from outside the solar system.

Oh lord, save us from those wanting to save us.

Well well :) Fascinating.
 

i spent years in the lower sonoran desert. this was a routine experience.the desert floor was mixture of gravel, packed sand, and modified stones of many kinds. some of the most interesting were pieces of white chert (not the black stuff you get in the chalk downs) that were vugular molds of cavities in basalt lava that were filled by high-concentration solutions of silica.

i have some that i will photograph if i can find them.



Just be happy.

I just wish I could download your experiences and knowledge. :)
