Wow, earthquake

I heard about the Chile earthquake, but I didn't think it would have this sort of impact. o_o

I don't think the change in the length of our days will make much difference (seems about as big to me as the removing a comma from lists), but that where Earth's mass is balanced has a three inch difference is quite shocking.
