Can the earth trip?
Over the last ten eleven days, seven eight eleven people I know have broken a foot, ankle or wrist, and I've seen several more with casts and/or crutches in the same places. Considering that bone breaking isn't viral or bacterial and considering that I'm a conspiracy theory enthusiast, I can't help wonder why these injuries and why now. Can the earth's rotation get sticky, do you suppose? Just for just a millisecond, just long enough to throw a few people off-balance. Oh, yes, of course I'm kidding, but it seems peculiar that so many people have such similar specific injuries. Early spring, sure. Once the leaves are falling and wet, sure. Mid-September when it hasn't snowed or rained or been foggy or anything, puzzling. Any ideas?
