Hey, were you wondering what would happen if the earth gradually slowed down and eventually just stopped spinning? Someone at GIS software company esri was: "If the earth stood still, the oceans would gradually migrate toward the poles and cause land in the equatorial region to emerge. This would eventually result in a huge equatorial megacontinent and two large polar oceans." Practical answer: LA's inland and the upper midwest is toast. Soggy toast. [ArcUser online, via kottke]
