I'm sure most of you have heard this but still interesting:

http://www.space.com/news/chile-earthquake-earth-days-100302.html

"The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 microseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. One microsecond is one-millionth of a second long."

Won't make a difference on your COSC certificate, but is just a testament to the immense forces wrought by the quake.
