I've said it before and I'll say it again: "The earth is slowly losing energy. Each rotation bleeds off a little energy and over time it's gotten worse. This would normally result in a day less than 24 hours (or so). Scientists have conspired with Hollywood to fix this problem before it gets out of hand. Their solution? Wait for Asimov to die and then make really bad movies based on his works. Him spinning in his grave will provide enough energy to keep the world moving for a long time. And when they're done with his works they have lots of others to take his place. Moore comes to mind."
