...small compared with the overall mass of the Earth, but that redistribution of mass would still cause the planet's gravity field to change slightly, which, in turn, would change the vector of its rotation. Think of the way water sloshes in a bucket, varying by how you swing or carry it. On a vast scale, that's what would happen if the WAIS collapsed, and the direction of the sloshing would hit the U.S. especially hard. Other areas that would take a particularly bad beating would be the coastlines bordering the southern Indian Ocean...
...real heart of the formal was the outdoor tent in the courtyard, which housed said open bar, a handful of small dining tables, and a light jazz band that made up for not being good by…well, just being there. (The swing-dancing couples didn’t seem to care who was playing, anyway.) And while some cost-cutting measures were evident—note to Lev HoCo: FlyBy could recognize that second-rate HUDS hummus and tabouli anywhere—the 510 students who purchased tickets got to experience something entirely new: for one night...

For those quick on their feet, there was swing-dancing in the tent and grinding in the dining hall. Your pick—although we must say that the swing-dancing quite tickled even our non-rhythmic fancy...
...swing-dancing was absolutely divine. Stuffed with awkward and completely inexperienced couples, everyone had a good time bumping into each other while trying different spins and jigs. The live band was fantastic, sticking close to jazzy tunes with a variety of tempos for all the dancers to test their mettle. The other courtyard featured the drinks, where the BAT team served them stiff, but also included random (but well candled) tables populating the grassy area (they did serve as resting spots for the drunk and weary, however...
