The Effects of Peanut Butter on the Rotation of the Earth

EDITOR'S NOTE: With publication of this paper we are hereby amending our longstanding policy regarding co-authors. Previously we rejected any research paper that had more than ten co-authors. Many of our contributors, especially high-energy physicists, have pointed out that in some fields, especially high energy physics, research journals routinely publish papers that have one hundred or more co-authors. Accordingly, we are removing the restriction.

So far as we can determine, peanut butter has no effect on the rotation of the earth.
