Rumpelstiltskin on the beach
Hola, soy el administrador de un grupo llamado Tu Foto Preferida / Your Preferred Picture y nos encantaría agregar esto al grupo.
Ms Rumpelstiltskin has beautiful hair here! How did she get out of her tower?
I must confess annoyance with those irresponsible people who plant what is, in effect, a rocket engine into the ground, and thus induce a perturbation in Earth’s natural rotational movement, which may butterfly-ly lead to the necessity of introducing jarring leap seconds in what should be a smoothly running time continuum 😉
What about firework competitions (as we have each summer in Montréal and all over the world), demolitions, implosions, explosions for ground excavations, war bombings etc? This here is harmless fun.

Cool. I suggest we use that huge dam to shift masses of water around and wobble Earth away from the trajectory of civilization-destroying asteroids that might come our way 🙂
Big earthquakes, which also induce wobbling, are unfortunately too unpredictable and uncontrollable to be used for asteroid avoidance…

Such explosive events last but a fraction of a second. Jet candles, OTOH, can burn for tens of seconds, which must mean that the time-energy integral of said candles’ kinetic effect on Earth must be an order of magnitude larger 😉
