Pauluk2w,
you totally missed the main point: if the earth, as a result, started to spin too fast, how would we keep our balance ??? No way!! We would obviously fall right off the edge of the world into space, thus stopping the actions that caused the initial fatal acceleration !!!
So the earth rotation would eventually slow down. So now the real question is: just how long would that take???....[X(][X(][X(]
Wrong Islandflyer, You can tell the earth speeds up and slows down on a yearly basis. Think about it, the days get longer and shorter. I think all the major earthquakes, volcanoes and storms get caused when the top and the bottom get a little out of sinc with each other.

I'm just glad that most of the our engines rotate the way they do. My prop stash is large now, don't want to stock one of each!
