Go forth onto Google!!! Found a couple of neat entries on True North, and Magnetic Declination, but the best part was finding this cool animated gif:
The image depicts the change in the Earth's Magnetic Field Declination from 1590 to 1990. It should be noted that at the time of WWII, there was a -10 line sweeping quickly through Europe... (Random correlation, or cause/effect? YOU decide!) ;-P
Oh wait, there was something else that's almost cooler than that image above. True North Snacks!! Mmmmmmm, snacks!

Very cool mapimation. My compass watch battery died a couple years ago. I finally bought another about a month ago, but the compass is all wacky. Sadly, I don't think it is the declination.
If I choose not to decide...I still have made a choice! (cue Rush guitars).
I believe you are outblogging me so far this year.
Considering how rarely I've been posting these days, that's saying a lot! Ah well, we have our families and the Impasse blog to keep us busy.
Nothing else matteeeerrrrrrr-hurls!
