According to NASA (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2005-009) the recent Indonesian earthquake changed the earth's period of rotation. So, build season got shortened by 118 microseconds! Don't know how we'll make it in time now...

Don't worry.. I'm sure we'll have another blizzard, and the ship date will be extended again. :rolleyes:

Yeah, but that makes everybody's "collapse down and fall asleep simutaneously" moment closer by 118 milliseconds. Imagine how many people could have died of exaustion had this not happened.

At the UTC scrimmage we should choreograph a "Blizzard Dance" for the following week to extend ship date. :)
