[quote="@/\/G3L":46cc1]Because of this quake the earth has pushed 6 degrees off its axis. So our days are now 15 minutes shorter aparently. ed:[/quote:46cc1]

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,
