HAS THE WHOLE WORLD LOST IT'S HEAD?:

ROCK WIT CHU:
Scientists are claiming that the earthquake that hit Chile has made a shift on the Earth's axis resulting in shorter days-- forever.
Space.com explains:
“Strong earthquakes have altered Earth's days and its axis in the past. The 9.1 Sumatran earthquake in 2004, which set off a deadly tsunami, should have shortened Earth's days by 6.8 microseconds and shifted its axis by about 2.76 inches (7 cm, or 2.32 milliarcseconds).[...] The Chile earthquake was much smaller than the Sumatran temblor, but its effects on the Earth are larger because of its location. Its epicenter was located in the Earth's mid-latitudes rather than near the equator like the Sumatran event.”
Okay that is UR science lesson for today.....
