Jesus H, head over to Sky News, 8.8 earthquake in Japan (11 March)

Seen water flow up hill?

It can, and does. But I think he meant the profiling rather than the actual elevations, some of the shots of the tsunami flow showed the clear affects of engineered teraforming.

link to water flowing uphill? not via capilliary action or optical illusion either - an actual meaningful amount

Find it yourself, it's not an uncommon occurance. If you channel water down a ramp which has an upward slope at the end the water will follow the slope. Some gold mining sluices are designed that way, to drop heavy particles out. On a larger scale you probably saw it happen in the clips from Japan, the tsunami flow driving up and over a raised highway.

A lot of the land shown being inundated including the Nuclear Power station has been reclaimed from the sea so is basically at sea level.

And now we hear that Japan has moved! And the earth axis has shifted. As a result of the earthquake. Wow!

A statement about the accuracy of modern measurement systems more than anything else. Did the source quantify the distances and angles involved?

This source states the coastline movement but doesn't mention specific angles.

2.4M movement in GPS locations, wow. 10cm and 10" quoted pole axix movement.

And a possible 0.12microsecond reduction in the length of the day. Fuck, I'm off for a ride before it gets dark.

[george formby]

This is nearly to much to take in.

[onearmedbandit]

Wow devastating footage. My heart really goes out to the people of Japan, so sad.

Good to know you and your wife are safe. The scale of this disaster is incomprehensible. On the positive side the Japanese buildings have been impressively built with some even standing up to the tsunami. I believe Japan and NZ lead the world in earthquake construction. It makes homes expensive but I don't think any of us will argue about that.
