Is it a good thing the world turns slowly? If it turned faster, would we all fall off?

(Note - this is a rhetorical question, not scientific. Silly answers only please. ;))

hmmm, rotational force would indicate: the faster the world turns, the increase in gravitational energy; therefore, we would splatter against the Earth (SPLAT) not be eject from it (pheeet).

Of course then again, this theory assumes that the Earth will stay on its axis if it rotated faster.

Hmm, working on the assumption that Earth, like a spinning top will move, therefore Earth would no longer be in its orbital plane and hence flying off the surface is a moot point.
