If the blizzards, earthquakes and landslides of 2010 weren't enough, now scientists believe the earth's axis might have been tilted after the Chilean earthquake over the weekend. The result? Shorter days. The change is so minuscule that we won't notice, but that's something that shows how we are all sharing one planet and every disaster affects us all.

So, we are all invited to watch NASA crash a rocket and a satellite onto the moon to look into this new claim of water on the moon. Well, I'm all for science and discoveries, but this feels like a bit of a waste. Anyone else think so too? What would moon water be like anyway?
- It will probably taste chalky and be cloudy
- The atmosphere on the moon is probably completely different from our resulting in some strange disease contracted from drinking moon water
- Surfing on moon water will be zero-g extreme.
Well, none of these things will probably happen, but imagination is important.

I just read an article on npr that explains something very interesting. There is water on the moon. I never would've guessed it. However, how does that change anything? The moon can't sustain life can it? We aren't going to start growing Moon trees and Moon crops are we? Oh gosh, this is getting way to sci-fi for me. Next thing you know, it'll be like the Adventures of Pluto Nash.
