    That’s also a great demonstration of how map projections distort things.

    The earth rotates 90 degrees multiple times every day, so, uh, I’ma go with ‘nothing’.

    Oh wait, this is XKCD’s What If, that dude has some funky ideas, I retract my statement and replace it with ‘Some real bad shit probably.’ :P
