Is it different below the equator...?

Cheers.. Grin...!.

P.S.  not that this is a regular occurance, of course... Wink...!

Fozzer. Go & run the water in your kitchen sink & watch the rotation when it disappears down t' plug'ole. I think you would find that if you did this in Australia it would rotate the other way. Roll Eyes 8)

PS. Watch out you don't fall in the basin & drown yourself old chap. Can't be too careful in your state of health. Shocked Tongue Grin

Hi Doug...!
When you get "elderly", you have two fears of water...
1: You will get wet.
2: You will drown.

Personally I don't fancy either.
So I will be dry, smelly, and not drowned...!

..sounds cool to me... 8)...!

Paul...(..have diffulties in finding friends...)... Roll Eyes...!
LOL...!

I'm not surprised. Phew......! I wondered what that pong was. Shocked Tongue

Of course, you could always hop on your bike & set out for warmer climes Down Under to check this out for yourself. I suspect that when you arrived you would probably forget why you went there. ??? Roll Eyes Grin

I use to have strange reoccurring dreams that the Earth was an orange ball of play dough. Then, I would sink into the ground and pop out the opposite end of the planet. Typicaly there was other people sinking into the Earth too.

Very odd. I wonder what a physiologist think about it. The person would probably write "insane" on their note pad.

A physiologist?

A psychologist might but a physiologist would tell you how your heart functions......

Oh yeah, to answer your question. The earth rotates on this existing axis powered by morlocks that constantly turn wheels.

Further more, the morlock world is divided into to two. The north and south hemisphere. The north decided to turn the earth anti-clockwise. Then the south turns clockwise. For the same reason toilets drain different directions in the north and south hemispheres. The opposite turning of the hemispheres and so fast that its does not seem like its moving.

On every 17th day of the month (except the leap month) a secret society must buy a sheep for 6 shillings and throw it in a volcano or else the morlocks will stop working.

It only makes logical sense.

I've gone of the edge on this.  Roll Eyes Undecided

I prefer Ranger's theory myself. Wink

Whether this is also true of Fozzer's brain after consuming vast quantities of alcohol is a different matter altogether. I think the only way to confirm this is for Fozzer to visit Australia, sample some of the local amber nectar & find out for himself. I volunteer to go with him* to make sure the poor old soul doesn't get lost & also act as scientific observer. Grin

* PS. Providing this does not involve travelling on the back seat of his motorbike. Shocked
