The days really are going by faster!!!!

Earth Is Spinning Faster Than Usual, Giving Us the Shortest Day EVER Recorded

I remember that day. It seemed like I had just gotten up and the day was gone!

I wonder what modern people did to cause it? Probably need a commission to study it.

Probably need a commission to study it....

Don't forget about the 15 year old girl we need to whine on and on about it...getting all the left leaning media's panties in a bunch...!

think its a byproduct of getting older

I have always held that as you age, months and years seem to go faster because as a percentage of your life experience, these periods of time are indeed shorter. To an 8 year old, a year would seem to last forever because one year of a total of four (if you don't count the first four developmental years) represents 25% of their existence. When you are 54 that same period of time would be only 2% of your existence.

If perception of time is relative in proportion to your age, then the older you get the faster it would seem to go.

My wife and I were just discussing that on our evening walk a couple days ago. It’s already August!

It is the fact that we are bringing up all that oil, from underground, and then burning it into the atmosphere. Thus, the mass-distribution change inside the earth makes it spin faster as we extract and burn off things near the relative surface of the planet.
