OT: Earth's orbit changing?

[Atrocities]

I recall watching a show on the Discovery channel that talked about how the Moon is moving away from the Earth at an average rate of 2 inches per year and how that is effecting the Earths rotation. The mood acts as a stablizer and now that it has moved so far out away from the Earth, our oribit has begun to wobble more extremely than in years past.

Again this goes back to one of my old topics about how rare life realy is and that that rareness of life is extactly why I feel there are very few, less than 100 or so simular planets to earth in the galaxy that have humaniod type life of one type or another.
