dogs align themselves in a N-S direction when going poop

BobKrohn · 2014-01-07T03:25:00Z

Saw an article stating that recent scientific research shows that dogs align themselves in a North-South direction when going poop.That's not really the point of this post.The article stated that one thing that skewed their observations were solar magnetic storms that affected the Earth magnetic field thus compass readings.What? I've never heard of such a thing.At least not to any normally measurable amount.As much as we surveyors have dealt with compasses has anyone heard of such a thing?Anyway the article makes fun reading.LA Times article

Today, Houston got it right (I think). Nose to the south, tail stub to the north.

That's for those south of the Mason Dixon Line, up here it's the other way around!
