Japan Moved 8ft to the Left

Just about every page and post on the Web is posting something about the Japanese earthquake so I thought I might as well. I have tried to find something kind of interesting yet not depressing and that not many of the other sites have picked up on. I don’t want to post all the same stuff everyone else is.

So, did you know that the 8.9 Richter scale earthquake actually moved the main island of Japan 8 feet to the west.

It also caused a permanent 10 cm tilt of the Earth’s axis at the poles. Wait until the doomsday brigade pick up of that little fact.

That’s it. That’s all I intend to post about “the” earthquake. Oh. You can click on the image at left to go to a CNN article about the 8 feet shift of Japan to the left.
