I wonder if work will let me go 27 milliarcseconds early from now on to get my time off back.

So it's 1.26ms. I heard this on ABC news before reading it and the reporter said 1.26 millionths of a second. Considerably more impressive now.

Hell yeah it does, 1 full second every 800 days? I feel further behind my deadlines already!

Screw the metric system, we've got bigger problems. Like renaming classics to Around The World In 80 Days And .1 Second.

They don't need to measure or prove it....... If the diameter or the mass distribution of an object changes, its rotational speed changes.

If I remember this correctly, anything above a 3.0 magnitude quake has a chance of doing this. There was also something about large tsunami's having the opposite effect on the earth's rotational speed.

Or I might have just pulled that out of my ass. Haven't decided yet.
