Hmmmm, does this mean 2012 is going to come by faster?

Or does it mean that days shortened, no final destination yet?

@ post above me please actually read the story before posting


Soo..eventually with enough earthquakes the day will be shorter than it is now?

Chowchig, I did read it.. What im asking is, since the days are shorter, maybe it wont happen on that exact day, a couple days before maybe?

It's shortened by a micro second. It's like a millionth of one second. Nothing to fret over. =p
