On that date the sun and the earth will be in perfect alignment with the center of the recently discovered black hole at the absolute center of the milky way. The effects, by scientific calculations anyway, will have the effect of shifting those poles you talk about, as well as causing a major shift in the tectonic plates on the earths surface due to the magnetic change.
Since we dont have real good newspapers lying around from when it happened the last time - the only thing we can rely on is the geological evidence that was left from that same shift that occured 28k yrs ago.
Most geologists agree that at that time there was so much shifting in the plates that if anything had been alive on the surface it ceased to exist at that point due to the major eruptions of magma from the earths core.
The other effect that the black hole has is the effect people have been seeing with the sunspots and proton/gamma activity lately - the alignment with the black hole causes a shift in magnetic fields which is also predicted to change the rotation axis and speed of the earth
I just hope Im still around to see it as it will be quite the "lightshow" as the moon (which is in gravitational pairing with the earth) starts getting into the path of the asteroid belt again (ever notice all those craters)
