Un-frakkin-believable. Like I don't have enough to do as it is; now I have 1.26 microseconds less each day to do it in.
(Incidentally, the folks at CNN were kind enough to let their intellectually challenged readers know that a microsecond is one-millionth of a second.)
Actually, this reminds me a book called Brain 2000, by Ernest K. Gann. A kid figures out that our constantly pumping oil is going to shift the Earth's center of gravity and create all sorts of cool mayhem.

The comments are a hoot. I particularly liked, "Ok, so where is Hawaii on an English globe?","There was have been a Tsunami…but Rick Sanchez sucks so much that the water backed up all the way to Atlanta", and the suggestion that perhaps Darwin was really in Hawaii and that calls the whole evolution thing into question.
