    The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.

    It's all a matter of scale. amigo.

    6.8 microseconds of loss falls within the normal daily variation of 1 millisecond . . . and with 993.2 microseconds of leeway.

    Turned? Are you kidding me? This whack job was certifiable from the very instant I heard her name and what she had to say.:insane:

    I'll grant you that it may have gotten worse but I doubt that she ever had both chop sticks in the chow mein.
