Scientists have captured a mysterious hum coming from deep inside the Earth, but they are still no closer to working out what it is.
It has long been known that the Earth constantly generates a low-frequency vibrational signal.
The first attempt to detect this hum was made in 1959, but it wasn't until 1998 that scientists finally proved its existence.
Since then, there have been hundreds of attempts to record the Earth's hum, but they have all been made using seismometers on land.
It was left to American ingenuity to crack Earth's Humming Code. The famously insane and inventive scientists * at the Jet Propulsion Lab put down their Mouse Rocket Potato Guns ** long enough to send the low frequency hum through gigantic Space Station Sized Marshall Amplifiers and what they heard caused the scientists to theorise that since the 1960s the earth has been humming this.
The inventor of the Internet and the inspiration for "Love Story," Al Gore, said; This is definitive proof that Mother Earth is warning us not to dig into her flesh, put pipelines in her arms and legs, start mainlining gas, oil and whatnot, getting her all addicted and twitchy because she might just go mental and get really weird.
* The Jet Propulsion scientists remove the candy and replace it with the purest LSD capsules available and then they pop a few into their mouths, start laughing, and begin yelling, "Lift off."
