I was watching the simpsons and it was a rerun but it Kent Brockman said "120 are dead from a tidal wave in Guala Luphur." Ironic. oOo:

WTF is Guala Luphur?

I think he meant Kuala Lumpur. He could mean anything though, the guy's a fucking tool.

Thailand: 3,000 Swedes may be among dead

(CNN) -- At least 246 non-nationals have been killed in the tsunamis of December 26, and hundreds more are missing. Following is a breakdown from official sources in the citizens' countries, unless otherwise noted.

Australia: 11 dead; the government says it has "grave concerns" about 107 others; another 950 Australians are unaccounted for

Austria: 5 dead, more than 100 missing

Britain: 40 dead

Canada: 5 dead, 13 missing and another 74 unaccounted for

Denmark: 7 dead, 14 missing

Finland: 4 dead; the foreign ministry says another 214 people are missing

France: 22 dead, 18 injured

Germany: 26 dead, hundreds missing. Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said he fears "a significant three-digit number of Germans will be among the dead."

Israel: 4 dead, 6 missing

Italy: 14 dead, 600 missing

Japan: 8 dead, according to Sri Lankan foreign minister.

New Zealand: 1 dead, 64 missing

Norway: 21 dead, 462 missing

Portugal: 8 missing; others unaccounted for but not yet listed missing.

Russia: 10 injured, some missing. Foreign ministry has no confirmed fatalities; Thai authorities have said Russians are among the dead.

Singapore: 3 dead

Spain: Foreign Ministry has no confirmations of any deaths; 11 reported missing in Thailand.

Sweden: 52 bodies have been identified. Another 2,915 Swedes are listed as missing. The Swedish prime minister's office has said the death toll could rise to as many as 1,000. The Thai government believes more than 3,000 people missing in Thailand are Swedish tourists.

Switzerland: 9 dead

Turkey: Turkish Airlines is sending a jet to Maldives to pick up what they believe will be 300 Turkish nationals there.

United States: 15 dead.

Other: Dead and/or missing also have been reported but unconfirmed by CNN from Belgium, China, South Africa, South Korea and Taiwan.

Because of this quake the earth has pushed 6 degrees off its axis. So our days are now 15 minutes shorter aparently. ed:

I call bullshit on that. Do you know how significant 6 degrees would be? It would fuck everything up. That would definetly have an impact on the arctic and polar ice caps, as well as seasons all over the world.

And the length of the day has to do with the speed of rotation, not at what angle we rotate at. Unless the earthquake sped up the rotation of the earth on it's axis, I don't see how we could be 15 minutes shorter,

Quake rattled Earth orbit, changed map of Asia: US geophysicist
An earthquake that unleashed deadly tidal waves on Asia was so powerful it
made the Earth wobble on its axis and permanently altered the regional
map, US geophysicists said.

The 9.0-magnitude temblor that struck 250 kilometers (155 miles) southeast
of Sumatra island Sunday may have moved small islands as much as 20 meters
(66 feet), according to one expert.

"That earthquake has changed the map," US Geological Survey expert Ken
Hudnut told AFP.

"Based on seismic modeling, some of the smaller islands off the southwest
coast of Sumatra may have moved to the southwest by about 20 meters. That
is a lot of slip."

The northwestern tip of the Indonesian territory of Sumatra may also have
shifted to the southwest by around 36 meters (120 feet), Hudnut said.

In addition, the energy released as the two sides of the undersea fault
slipped against each other made the Earth wobble on its axis, Hudnut said.

"We can detect very slight motions of the Earth and I would expect that
the Earth wobbled in its orbit when the earthquake occurred due the
massive amount of energy exerted and the sudden shift in mass," Hudnut said.


Another USGS research geophysicist agreed that the Earth would have got a
"little jog," and that the islands off Sumatra would have been moved by
the quake.

However, Stuart Sipkin, of the USGS National Earthquake Information Center
in Golden Colorado, said it was more likely that the islands off Sumatra
had risen higher out of the sea than they had moved laterally.

"In in this case, the Indian plate dived below the Burma plate, causing
uplift, so most of the motion to the islands would have been vertical, not
horizontal."

The tsunamis unleashed by the fourth-biggest earthquake in a century have
left at least 23,675 people dead in eight countries across Asia and as far
as Somalia in East Africa.

The tsunamis wiped out entire coastal villages and pulled beach-goers out
to sea.

The International Red Cross estimated that up to one million people have
been displaced by the natural calamity.

Doesn't say anything about the axis of the earth off by 6 degrees, or the days being shorter.

Their detecting a wobble, but that will probably steadily drop off after a few months or years and the earth will return to a normal orbit. Perhaps the quake did change the orbit in some way permanently, but I don't think it was enough to impact the days by 15 minutes, or change anything we'll ever notice.

The exact amount is yet undetermined, but theoretical models suggest the earthquake may have shortened the length of a day by as much as three microseconds (3 µs) and caused the Earth to minutely "wobble" on its axis by up to 2.5 cm (1 inch) [14], [15]. However, due to tidal effects of the Moon, the length of a day increases by 15 µs every year, so any rotational speedup due to the earthquake will be quickly lost. Similarly, the natural Chandler wobble of the Earth can be up to 15 m (50 ft).

I've read the 1 inch measurement elsewhere too.

ninty 01-03-2005 06:30 PM

I was just watching Daily Planet and they said that the earthquake cause the earth to wobble as well.

The earth also sped up, but it will go back to normal rotation after approx. 100 days.

So yah, basically what Buttocks posted.
