Quake May Have Altered Earth's Rotation
Drudge Report ^ | 12/27/04 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 12/27/2004 6:48:27 PM PST by wagglebee

May have shortened the day by 3 microseconds, said gravity expert Richard Gross of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena... On premise a slab slid into core, Gross said he's done calculations 'to see what effect this (earthquake) should have had.' The result: A day shortened... 'We won't know for weeks,' said a geophysicist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 'So it's a guess, as of now'...

Slowing the rotation of the earth will lessen gravity and all you lightheaded conservatives will loose touch with the ground and all you brainless Republicans will fall off entirely.

No, as usual you libs have it wrong. We are sticking around even longer now.

We can argue that we lost these 3 microseconds during Bush's first term; and consequently, he hasn't served 2 FULL terms, so he is constitutionally allowed to run again in 2008.

It's at least as good an argument that Gore won the popular vote in 2000.

Note to self.....

The picture of Clinton (that worked in the preview) didn't show in the thread.

Kinda loses it's punch when your comment is accompanied by "image hosted by tripod"

D'oh!

Those people really don't bathe, do they? Been smelling their own fumes too long.

How do they explain the Great Alaska Quake of 1964 (9.2) and the large Chili Quake (in the 80's?) (at 9.5)... this quake was a mere baby by comparison.

Seems Rather was on screen again with a backdrop that said, "Tsunami" and "Global Warming".

Not being able to hear the "news" I'm assuming it was two seperate stories.

Nope, the same story - Rather implied that there would be more tsunamis because of global warming. I assume he'll get to it being Bush's fault tonight.

"Age is mostly a matter of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

My mother used to warn me: Ask any woman her age and nine out of ten will guess wrong.

Happy New Year."

I like your way of thinking. Happy New Year to you!

Argh. You're kidding me. Wonder how many morons bought into it?

Doesn't matter. EVERYTHING is the fault of the evil white men.

Activate the Omega 13

JASON

Brandon. What does the Omega 13 device do?

BRANDON

Uh, many have believed that it is a matter collapser, a bomb capable of destroying pretty much everything in about 13 seconds. But myself and others are convinced that what is it –

JASON

We gotta go - go!

BRANDON

is a matter rearranger, affecting a 13 second time jump to the past.

GWEN

Why 13 seconds? That's really not enough time to do anything of any importance.

JASON

It'd be time enough to redeem a single mistake.

From the look of her, I'd better use the Omega 180 instead.
