Isn't it kinda obvious that earth isn't symmetrically perfect? :)

well the earth's innards are mostly not solid. imo it's logical that the shape will fluctuate.

Um those aren't pictures of the shape of the earth. They are pictures representing the strength of earth's gravitation field. There is also very little information given about what exactly the pictures represent.

Also, it is a well known fact the Earth is not a perfect sphere Toht, it is more egg shaped.

Quite right!

Nope, it's not egg-shaped. The earth is a flattened sphere, like a 3D oval. Due to the rotation of the earth, the land mass at the equator gets flung out-wards.

[edit]
How the hell is out wards censored....
Anyway, adding a few pictures to clarify.

Any fool who's watched the West Wing knows that the earth has no resemblance to the standard globe model that you're taught at school - it's all different.

It's the End of the World as we know it!
