Welcome to Planet Earth, it's made of Space Junk, left over from the Big
Bang.Will Planet Earth go out with a wimper, or another Big Bang?

At some time in the history of the earth it did in fact have years of ~400
days. It could happen again. I don't think I'll be around.

A theory is that the dynamic process of molten rock circulating from the
core to the near-surface will decrease. Thus the magma cooling down near
the earth crust, the size and weight of the earth will remain the same.
But the shift in mass distribution of the earth will cause the
earth-rotation to increase. (ref. an ice-skater spinning slower with the
arms stretched out). We'll get much longer days. And more time to write
junk mail like this on the net.

If the Earth's rotation speed increases, we get SHORTER days. Days have been
tending shorter. At one time within human existance, days were longer, and
we had only 360 days per year (hence 360 degrees in a circle).

No, that's not where the 360 degrees comes from.

So...(tapping foot)...tell us where! ;-)

People who actually use a "time"-related reference for navigation
(astronomers) use an hours-minutes-seconds system in place of
longitude, not a days/degrees system. Astro coords are usually in
degrees of declination above or below the equator (+/- 0-90) for
latitude, and in hours/minutes/seconds of right ascension (HH:mm':ss")
for longitude around the rotating circumference - essentially a
variation on polar coordinates.

Historically, the ancients knew the earth revolved around the
sun in a little more than 365 days. A degree of arc was chosen
to be 1/360 of a circle because it had many divisors, i.e.,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45,
60, 72, 90, 120, 180, and 360.

Those Ancients were Smart, and also Intelligent People.

Last year that B HO ButtKisser who lives catty corner across the
street from doggy's couch, he pushed his pawn shop $65.00 lawn mower
over to my house.He rattled my screen door, he Hollered, SHOW ME WHERE
THAT OIL DRAIN PLUG IS!!!

Last year, he BROKE my chainsaw, but he doesn't care.He said, (last year
when he BROKE my Remington electric chainsaw) I am an old country boy
from Edwards, I know all about chainsaws!

I had to show him (old country boy from Edwards) about eight times how
to turn it on, and at least five or six times how to keep the chain
properly adjusted.

Country boy? Edwards is a suburb of Jackson.

I am from Carthage, wayyyyyyy out in the backwater hick sticks in Leake
County.I too am an old Country boy.

First gas engine lawn mower we ever had was back around 1953 after my
family moved to Jackson in 1949.It was a second hand gas engine lawn
mower my dad bought at a gas station.I thought that gas engine lawn
mower was the greatest invention since sliced bread.That old reel type
lawn mower that I used to have to use was reel tuff, mowing that reel
tuff grass and reel tuff weeds.I own an old Keen Kutter reel type lawn
mower, it is in very good condition, I bought it many years ago at a
junk shop.I don't use it though.

The first chainsaw was developed in 1830 by an Orthpedic/Surgeon guy in
Germany.It was a hand cranked device for cutting bones.I bought my first
gas engine chainsaw (McCulloch chainsaw) back in the early 1970s.I
didn't break it either, it finally wore out.

Rumors abound at Cal Tech that the Big One is nigh. They are telling
people to prepare.
