I was informed today, that from the earthquAke that causes the sunami or whatever (aka that huge ****in wave) that the equator shifted 3.1 or 13.1 degrees or something, making ever where warmer or something? for example its 65 out oday here in baltimore. very rare!

the axial rotation of the planet, people are thinking, was shifted off course by about an inch... negligible, but measurable

The earthquake was really damn big, I think #5 in the recorded history of man, and that it had enough force to shift the entire planet... but not much more h:

This is called an Indian Summer. Nothing else.

The Tsunami that occurred after Kracktoa erupted sent a tsunami about 120 feet high across the ocean. The temperature dropped about 5-10 degrees around the globe - that's how much ash was put into the sky.

it speeds the earths rotation up some like 3 billionths of a second per day, so like every billion days from now on will be like 3 seconds faster than the last billion days

Not sure about that... but the earth is now spinning faster because of the earthquake.. and the days are now 3 milliseconds shorter then they used to be. :eek3:
