the comedy of John Lennon
The Feb. 27 magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile may have shortened the length of each Earth day. JPL research scientist Richard Gross computed how Earth’s rotation should have changed as a result of the Feb. 27 quake. Using a complex model, he and fellow scientists came up with a preliminary calculation that the quake should have shortened the length of an Earth day by about 1.26 microseconds (a microsecond is one millionth of a second).

This has been this weekend’s mantra. Bacon, beer can, bacon…
Truman’s sunglasses are part of a Flickr pool called Defaced Presidents (the Queen of England gets her due too). Got this from Flavorwire, which I’m going to have to visit more often.
Beatles Tumblrs
Since I got going on the Tumblr thing, I’ve noticed something weird and great: the abundance of Beatles Tumblrs. It’s an image-driven platform, so there’s no surprise that these blogs are 99 percent photos of the Fab Four. And there’s ample material since the Beatles were likely the most photographed band of all time, and maybe the most photographed individuals of all time.
Just as there are seemingly limitless images of John, Paul, George and Ringo, there are an apparant endness supply of Beatles Tumblrs. Here’s what I’ve found (you gotta love these names…): Beatles Daily, I Quite Like the Beatles, My Beatlemania, Beatle Love, The Church of Beatles, Fuck Yeah Beatles, Fuck Yeah The Beatles, My Beatles Gallery, Beatles Lulz, Beatles Forever, When We Was Fab, Bathroom Window, Got a Ticket to Ride, I’ll Never Lose Affection, Old Brown Shoe, Day Tripped, She’s Not a Girl Who Misses Much, It’s All Too Much, My Helter Skelter, Singalong Junk, Fucking Road, I’m Only Sleeping, I’ll Follow the Sun, Ringo Love, Ringo Knows Best, Fuck Yeah Ringo Star, Macca Obessesd, Macca Maniac, Fuck Yeah Paul McCartney, Fuck Yeah George Harrison, F Yeah George Harrison, George Harrison, Raw Georgie Love, Fuck Yeah John Lennon, Fuck Yeah Lennon, Lennon Love, Fuck Yeah John and Paul, Lennon Ringogh, Fuck Yeah John and Yoko, Fuck Yeah Paul and Linda, Fuck Yeah Paul and Jane, Maureen Starkey Love, Fuck Yeah Dhani Harrison, Amilene McCartney, Revolver 19, Forthlin Road, Little White Bewk, 7 Levels and Moptops.
