Have I got some sort of morbid fascination with this? Maybe. But check out this quote:

U.S. scientists said the quake that set off the wall of water had moved tectonic plates beneath the Indian Ocean by up to 30 meters (98 ft), causing the Earth to wobble on its axis and permanently shortening the day by a fraction of a second.

Did you get that? The Earth moved. The speed of the Earth's spin increased. For the rest of this planet's existence, our day will be shorter due to this one earthquake.

This is one of the reasons I don't like hippies. Mother Earth doesn't love us. Mother Earth doesn't care about us at all.
