People everywhere were feeling "tired" and light headed yesterday. When I woke up, I was so dizzy and light headed, I felt I had not gotten any sleep at all, I wanted to go back to sleep. I have seen the same feelings throughout message boards about yesterday.
I will stay watching the magnetosphere everyday -
Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other. The hypothesis that continents 'drift' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and was fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. However, it was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, that a sufficient geological explanation of that movement was found.
The pole shift hypothesis is the hypothesis that the axis of rotation of a planet has not always been at its present-day locations or that the axis will not persist there; in other words, that its physical poles had been or will be shifted. The Pole shift hypothesis is almost always discussed in the context of Earth, but other bodies in the Solar System may have experienced axial reorientation during their existences.
Pole shift hypotheses are not to be confused with plate tectonics, the well-accepted geological theory that the Earth's surface consists of solid plates which shift over a fluid asthenosphere; nor with continental drift, the corollary to plate tectonics which maintains that locations of the continents have moved slowly over the face of the Earth,[1] resulting in the gradual emerging and breakup of continents and oceans over hundreds of millions of years.

Stop telling stories. We don't need your imagination of how a ridiculous chain of events with icebergs and avalanches lead to them being found where and how they were. Lets keep it factual.

Your information regarding "pole shifts" is faulty at best. Scientists attribute the presence of dinosaur bones in bizarre locations not to dramatic shifts of the poles but to continental drift. This is a very different phenomenon that is widely accepted by scientific communities. What is the difference, you may ask? Let me educate you.

So, let's review. Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift - Accepted by science and essentially proven.
RAPID Pole Shift - Science laughs in your face. At best physical polar shifts have never occurred (though a change of 1 degree per million years has been seen).
What you are attributing as Pole Shifting is that the Earth's magnetic field has reversed (north became south and vice versa). This, however, did not cause any change in the location of continental masses. Please do some research before you make more of a fool of yourself.
Analysis of Vendian to Cambrian paleomagnetic data shows anomalously fast rotations and latitudinal drift for all of the major continents. These motions are consistent with an Early to Middle Cambrian inertial interchange true polar wander event, during which Earth's lithosphere and mantle rotated about 90 degrees in response to an unstable distribution of the planet's moment of inertia. The proposed event produces a longitudinally constrained Cambrian paleogeography and accounts for rapid rates of continental motion during that time.
The sudden appearance of virtually all the animal phyla (2) and their exponential diversification are coeval with abrupt shifts in oceanic geochemistry
The new ages, along with paleomagnetic data, indicate that continents moved at rapid rates that are difficult to reconcile with our present understanding of mantle dynamics (7). We propose that rapid continental motions during the Cambrian period were driven by an interchange event in Earth's moment of inertia tensor. The age constraints on the geophysical data indicate that the rapid continental motions occurred during the same time interval as the Cambrian evolutionary diversification and therefore the two events may be related.
ABSTRACT
Remains of mammoths in Arctic East Siberia, where there is not sufficient sunlight over the year for the growth of the plants on which these animals feed, indicate that the latitude of this region was lower before the end of the Pleistocene than now. Reconstructing this geographic pole shift, we introduce a massive object, which moved in an extremely eccentric orbit and was hot from tidal work and solar radiation. Evaporation produced a disk-shaped cloud of ions around the Sun. This cloud partially shielded the solar radiation, producing the cold and warm periods characterizing the Pleistocene. The shielding depends on the inclination of Earth's orbit, which has a period of 100. 000 years. The cloud builds up to a point where inelastic particle collisions induce its collapse The resulting near-periodic time dependence resembles that of Dansgaard-Oeschger events. The Pleistocene ended when the massive object had a close encounter with the Earth, which suffered a one per mil extensional deformation. While the deformation relaxed to an equilibrium shape in one to several years, the globe turned relative to the rotation axis: The North Pole moved from Greenland to the Arctic Sea. The massive object split into fragments, which evaporated.
Let us suppose that the North pole was at the center of the known ice cover of the Last Glaciation. This is situated in Greenland, about 18º apart from the present North pole. Its longitude is less certain, since it depends on the thermal influence attributed to the Atlantic ocean. A model study of the Pleistocene climate with geographically shifted poles could be revealing. The geographic consequences of a polar shift are best visualized using a globe. The angular distance from the old or new pole amounts to (90º - latitude) in each case. Since the North pole moved from Greenland into the Arctic Sea while the South Pole was displaced within Antarctica, the climate changes were larger on the Northern hemisphere. Some places on the great circle through the old and the new positions of the poles suffered the full 18º shift. The Lena River in Siberia moved 18º north, while the latitudes in Australia decreased approximately by this amount. Bolivia moved away from the equator (tropical ® arid), while the Northern Amazon region shifted to the equator (arid ® tropical). The latitudes on the US-East coast and in West Europe were higher in the Pleistocene, and those of Alasca slightly lower.
The evidence of mammoths in arctic east Siberia is not just one more in a multitude of unexplained facts, since it contains an aspect that we understand. These regions necessarily received more sunlight in the Pleistocene than at present. Thus, the latitude of arctic East Siberia was lower than it is now. The globe has been turned with respect to its rotation axis.

OH REALLY?? Sorry.... but before you post too many things.... and make more of a "fool" of yourself about pole shifts............... I would advice you to LOOK at scientific evidence of very fast "pole shifts"
the below link is strictly VERY scientific
link: www.sciencemag.org...
But it also goes on to say that these events happened within a span of 30 million years. "Fast" apparently, is in the eye of the beholder. Would you consider that fast?

Actually, somehow....... you missed or didn't read all of it........... there are many many sites on the net, where you can read about our history and pole shifts. But in the link I provided and the external info......
The sudden appearance of virtually all the animal phyla (2) and their exponential diversification are coeval with abrupt shifts in oceanic geochemistry
Our pole shifts happened Very FAst in the past.... they have found lots of evidence proving that - including instant freezings of "tropical" animals in the Arctic, there is proof, our Earth flipped/rotated/shifted on our axis instantly.
So............ please research,
