Put it into context. The Earth has been slowing down on average. The Earth is spinning with a longer period by ~2ms than it was in the early 19th century, the slowing (due to mostly tidal effects) is three orders of magnitude greater than the mitigating effects of recent geological events of Chile or of the Indian ocean 2004 say.

Putting things in perspective is no fun though. It's more fun to act irrational and sensationally exploit the idea :D

LMFAO! that would be neat :)

Although.. I think you live on the opposite side of the world then me, so it would work against me. I'd get all the doom, and bad luck, loose crumbs, dust bunnies, and jingly loose nominal pocket change :D

 :o

I couldn't do that. I love where I live. It would take something monumental happening to me for me to move :P

I know Methiah is right, and it's standard for things like the shift to happen. I'm quite sure it hasn't effected me greatly ::)

I don't think anyone gets everything. Plus, my priorites in life are much more simple then 'everything'. So monumental would be something simple. Which luckily .. I assume.. I can find where I live now.

I'm reading 'The Road' right now. So, that's poignant.

I think we have taken enough out of perspective and ran wild with it ( Al Gore, movies like The Day After tomarow, 2012 , the band REM etc.)
