Chile quake may have shortened day

Chile quake may have shortened day
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/03/02...quake.html

That just blows my mind. I never knew such a thing was possible. Granted the shortened day wouldn't be terribly noticed by us, I'm sure it has some implications.


And of course, the fact that there is another massive earthquake so soon after Haiti is tragic. I'll be donating when I get paid this week. Fortunately, Chile had better building codes, so even with the higher magnitude, there wasn't a loss of life on scale with Haiti. Of course any loss of life is sad.


Oh and you can bet Pat Robertson opened his hate filled mouth again: http://open.salon.com/blog/the_desperate...than_haiti
