So... do we still change our clocks for daylight savings?

The earthquake-cum-tsunami packed such fury that it has moved Japan's main island, Honshu, by about 8 feet. It's also caused the Earth's axis to wobble by about 4 inches – something that experts say will lead to the shortening of the day by 1.6 microseconds, or just over a millionth of a second.

These very tiny changes happen because of changes in the speed of rotation of the Earth as surface mass gets shifted around in earthquakes, says Patrick Dasgupta, professor of astrophysics in Delhi University.

Daylight savings time.

And though I grew up saying 'daylight savings', it is actually daylight saving.

Daylight Saving Time

I know I know... but this site tells me it's NOT Daylight Savings Time. Anyway this Sunday, change your clock, your fire detector batteries, and the president.

Beginning in 2007, most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.
