NOT COOL, PLANET EARTH:
The massive earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday may have shifted the Earth's axis and created shorter days, scientists at NASA say.
The change is negligible, but permanent: Each day should be 1.26 microseconds shorter, according to preliminary calculations. A microsecond is one-millionth of a second.
Chile quake = shorter days
Huh. That'll make the moon move away from Earth faster.
But in the long term, the trend is for days to get longer. A long long long long time ago, a day was about 8 hours, and the moon was huge (cuz it was much closer).
The End times are near(er).
Petition to make "Hella" the prefix for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Carl sez, "A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27, for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion trillion). For instance: 'the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at 0.3 hellawatts.' It would also come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic and US national debt."
Color for my new livingroom, I think, Deep Ocean. This pleases me.
The seller has not gotten back to us after we submitted our request for items post inspection. This does not please me.
That's what's the matter with Kansas.
Google? It's no ToPicachu.
IT upgraded Firefox this morning, and now my Back button and Refresh button no longer work.
Tech support guy over the cubicle wall is roaring loud this morning. He's on a mission to get people to not convert to Macs, but to go to Linux instead. Despite the fact that neither OS works with the system he supports. He just figures if you're going to go off-ranch, you should go open source instead. Because all Linux software is free.
Which is kinda not true, but there you go. I do wish he didn't project so.
