"so can you speed the earth up a bit, so it orbits the sun in 10 months" Hmm, I was thinking about this too, its is feasible, and has several advantages over our 365 1/4 ish day cycle. 1) it would enable a 'decimal year to be instituted. Which is no problem, we'd just have to get rid of a couple of months, I'm voting November and February to be binned cos they are crap months anyway. 2) Now this is the important bit so pay attention. We have to speed up the earth. Preliminary modelling by my engineering team suggests that this would reduce the effect of gravity, thereby increasing freefall time, but more importantly, reducing the price of jump tickets. Use less fuel to get to altitude, faster climbing aircraft etc.... We can't really speed up the earth's orbit of the sun, its just not practical, but when we are adjusting its tilt to relocate the equator, we could nudge the earth closer to the sun, thereby reducing the solar year. This would also have the effect of increasing the earths temp, giving us more blue days!

I dunno who I will vote for, I met the guy who wrote the Software for Sonic the Hedgehog last New Year. He lives at St Michaels, near St andrews, and is quite a cool guy. He invested his redundancy money in an IT course at Dundee, then wrote Sonic, sold it, and retired.. Cool... Who to choose? I think I'd have to opt for Winston, he has some cool quotes, and he held the UK together during a very dark period, until the colonial cousins came and helped us out. He had a wikkid sense of humour, and did some great quotes.... -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
