Although the tsunamis had a force of hundreds of megatons of TNT, this
is somewhat small when it is up against the momentum of the Earth's
rotation, the Earth will not come to a screeching halt, but a leap second
in atomic time (UTC) might be necessary sooner than expected.

It will be interesting to see what the results from the International
Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service
(IERS)(http://www.iers.org) published each Thursday.

Yes. As far as I know, we set our clocks back by our own will, not by nature.
