    Re: HELP AGUS!

    The quake should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds
    damn, I'm already short in time.

        Chile quake may have tipped Earth's axis

        (CNN) -- The massive earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday may have shifted Earth's axis and created shorter days, scientists at NASA say.

        The change is negligible, but permanent: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second.
        Good for us working stiffs. We get paid the same for less time. Derp derp!

                  LOS ANGELES – Just 50 miles off the Pacific Northwest coast is an earthquake hotspot that threatens to unleash on Seattle, Portland and Vancouver the kind of damage that has shattered Chile.

                  The fault has been dormant for more than 300 years, but when it awakens — tomorrow or decades from now — the consequences could be devastating.

                  Recent computer simulations of a hypothetical magnitude-9 quake found that shaking could last 2 to 5 minutes — strong enough to potentially cause poorly constructed buildings from British Columbia to Northern California to collapse and severely damage highways and bridges.

                    I'm glad that I don't live in an earthquake area.
                    The natural disaster I really have to worry about is Yellowstone exploding.
                    In which case nobody here is going to be left hanging on whether or not I'm dead, because I'll definately be dead.
                    Well, most likely atleast.
