Chilean Quake Likely Shifted Earth’s Axis, NASA Scientist Says - BusinessWeek →

Holy Moley! This article, seen via gizmodo, says that the Chilean earthquake shifted the earths axis by 3” which shortens our days by 1.26us (microseconds).

Oh, also the island of Santa Maria was raised 2 meters after the quake, no big deal.  Shnickies!
