mmuummmm, dinner was good. Coffee, you are so cute. (and sweet). Tell us, how far was the Earth's rotation put off by the horrible tsusami? Would you know?

Excuse me. Time for dessert. and then probably bed, as if you cared.

Hey, I'm talking to myself tonight.

err..I did read about that the other day...something like the crustal plate shifting cuasing something like .2 milliseconds difference a year (can't remember if it was faster or slower)...but don't quote me on any of those wishy washy stats.

And I my dinner was yum too...a high cholesteral greasy one.
Cheese,suasage, and zuchini burritos with sweet dijon mustard.

edit:
I was way off.

Quote this from Wikipedia.

The shift of mass and the massive release of energy very slightly altered the Earth's rotation. 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] (http://slate.msn.com/id/2111443/), [15] (http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science...eut/index.html). 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.
