Why do I keep having these half-conceived semi-thoughts of a =
"balder-snitch"? Is this something from Milne or Carrol or Seuss?

I think it should be Balderdashauf, sounds a little better, could be =
easily adopted by other european languages and could be used regularly =
on the list. How long do you think it will take literary thinkers and =
writers like some on the Ghetto list to get it accepted by the Oxford =
Dictionary....

hey, you're missing a *great* opportunity - why
not call it 'bauldaufdash' instead of 'balderdash'
dave?
as it turns out, herr baldauf is perzactly right
about the NYT story:
'Will Compasses Point South?'
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/13/science/13magn.html
[excerpt]
****************
'A reversal could knock out power grids, hurt
astronauts and satellites, widen atmospheric ozone
holes, send polar auroras flashing to the equator and
confuse birds, fish and migratory animals that rely on
the steadiness of the magnetic field as a navigation
aid. But experts said the repercussions would fall
short of catastrophic, despite a few proclamations of
doom and sketchy evidence of past links between field
reversals and species extinctions.
'Although a total flip may be hundreds or thousands
of years away, the rapid decline in magnetic strength
is already damaging satellites.'
****************
maybe we could revive the old colonical tune the
british troops supposedly played as general cornwallis
abandoned yorktown -
'the world turned upside down.'
http://www.contemplator.com/england/worldtur.html
****************
"If buttercups buzz'd after the bee,
If boats were on land, churches on sea,
If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,
And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,
If the mamas sold their babies
To the gypsies for half a crown;
If summer were spring and the other way round,
Then all the world would be upside down."
