Another Crazy Idea - World Jump Day

World Jump Day was an event scheduled for July 20, 2006 at 11:39.13, at which time the organization claimed to have 600 million people from the western hemisphere jump simultaneously.

They claimed this would move the Earth out of its orbit, and into a new one, one that would not cause global warming. The site was a hoax, an art installation by Torsten Lauschmann (claiming to be a Professor Hans Peter Niesward from the Institute for Gravitational Physics in Munich), and in no way serious.
The German student association Lambda-Omega-Lambda provides the computer sciences for this project (programming, as well as server hosting).
