Earthquake hits Chile

I'm sure you all have heard about the earthquake that rocked Chile on the 27th of February. It was measured as an 8.8. Something interesting that you may not have read about or heard about is that on Monday a NASA scientist said, "the massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet." If that isn't crazy I don't know what is. As if people already aren't feeling cheated out of life because of the 2012 predictions.

The quake was the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and is said to have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA.
