Everybody knows that Wiki is Miss Wiki, not Mr. The fact that she has a low tone voice, some facial hair (she shaves it every day so it is not noticeable) and broad shoulders shouldn't make you mistaken her gender. She is offended!

An event like a Tsunami also changes the rotational speed of the earth. It would be interesting to identify all such events on the graphs.
