Makes me wonder if this stuff is also affecting "magnetic north." It's shifting faster than any time in history.
I read an interesting story this morning about it...but can't find it now. Here's some info:

"Earths Magnetic North Pole is shifting from its current location in northern Canada at a faster rate than has ever before been observed.
The movement could have significant impact for both aircraft navigation and some types of migratory wildlife in the decades ahead, experts warn.
Hundreds of miles south of the geographic North Pole, the location of the Magnetic North Pole was first determined in 1833.
It seemed to barely move until about 1904, when its position began to track northeastward about nine miles per year.
The speed began to increase significantly in a northwesterly direction about 1998, and now averages about 37 miles each year.
This means the pole will be located in northern Russia later this century if the movement and speed dont change.
Air transportation uses magnetic compass directions for navigation, meaning airports are having to rename their runways as the shift continues.
Wildlife that can sense Earths magnetic field to migrate may also become affected by the change. "
Then...back to Japan...it just keeps getting worse ans worse:

Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear plant meltdowns -- as if the people of Japan didn't have enough to cope with, a volcano began erupting Sunday.
Hundreds of people were forced to flee when the Shinmoedake volcano on the southern island of Kyushu began spewing ash and boulders.
The explosion from the eruption could be heard miles away and an ash plume extended two miles into the sky.
Shinmoedake, one of several volcanic peaks in the Kirishima mountain range, is 950 miles from the epicenter of Friday's earthquake and scientists weren't sure if the quake triggered the eruption.
Eruptions and quakes are common in Japan's "ring of fire."
The volcano erupted in January - the first major seismic activity on the mountain in 52 years. Scientists say lava had been building up in recent weeks.
Shinmoedake is famous for standing in as the villain's secret rocket base in the 1967 James Bond film, "You Only Live Twice."
Fuck these geologists and vulcanologists who say this shit isn't connected. Japan's been getting hammered by earthquakes...several hundred in just the past few days...now a volcano is erupting?
Not connected my ass.
