I was watching the news last night and it seems that due the earthquakes that took place in Haiti and Chilli (especially this one) made our beloved planet Earth spin faster around her axis. If i'm not mistaken the Earth also "bumped" slightly out of her orbit due the quakes.

Though the earth is spinning a bit faster, it's only a microsecond or so, we won't notice any of this effect at the moment that the days will become shorter. It will take months or even years before we see the effect of it. At least that's what they said on the news.

Let's see....
