Hello!
AHA!!!! found the culpitre!
I talked to my mother earlier on and she started talking about how things were going get worse from now on. She onced again mentioned that this weekend there were expecting volcanoes, earthquakes and now tsunamis! Yes she had seen this on the news yesterday and it was real scary. This time I asked her what channel she watched this on, she let the cat out of the bag: CNN in Spanish!
What? Yes she claimed, they reported that the axis of the Earth has changed because of the earthquake that happened in Japan. Cool... So at least I had someone to point the finger at, hey it's the 21st century, I could probably find this report on the Internet right?
God bless the Internet! I found the freaking report on CNN Spanish. So I started to see the clip and basically it's true, the axis of the earth might have changed by about 10 cm, about 5 inches, and yes it had increased the speed of the Earth rotation thus making the days shorter. How much faster are we going? How much shorter is the day? Well this is the intriguing part, apparently those measurements are so gigantically small that we won't even feel them! Woman, you're predicting Armageddon and the report has no mention of that!
Then I started thinking, we all like to embellish our stories?! I mean come on, how many times have I said that I'm married to Angelina Jolie because I know I'll never see that person again? I'm pretty sure that you guys have done it also, in this case I take it that my mother wanted to add some spice to her story and if it happens to come through, more power to her...
See you later people!
PS the link of report is in Spanish, so either take my word for it or get a translator.
