Ask and ye shall receive I suppose. Well there you go, 3 microseconds per day faster, but that's just theoretical and is too minuscule to be measured by any of the tools we use today to measure this kind of stuff. And so a thousand sound bites are born, and overall clouding the fact that the big news is simply that there was a giant fucking earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands of people. Here's what I'd love every reporter to start their stories with:
Think about what you were doing on Sunday afternoon. Now imagine, with little more than a rumbling in the distance, being buried in 40 feet of water moving at 60 miles an hour. Now imagine that happened to you and everyone you lived with in the town you grew up with as well as the town next to you at the exact same time. And now think about the fact that (if you're lucky enough to not be dead) that you have no home, no car, no clothes and no place to go to get food, a drink of water, or even go to the bathroom, let alone suture up the giant gash in your arm or bury the 15 dead bodies in your street. Now you have a small idea what just happened in the Asia.
Please give.
