Earthquake Chili

[Azathoth]

Maybe one can find sympathy for Mother Earth herself; this article points out that the Chilean quake was so big, it altered the mass of the planet, and shortened our day.

Eh, stuff like this happens all the time. The Earth on the whole is still slowing down.

Yeah, the days were quite short in the beginning of our geologic history.

[Fragony]

That is pretty humbling.

edit, if an earthquake can do that then so can we, if we put some mass here and there for centrifugal force we can probably change the orbit at will. Why would you want to but still.
