Are you upside-down if...

you're in Antarctica and standing on the South Pole?

Since my guard base goes there to support the national science foundation and I know a few hundred people that have been there I can so no. You are not upside-down if you're in Antarctica and standing on the South Pole, you are only upside-down when you are standing at the north pole, although the magnetic north pole isn't at a land mass it is in the water or generally on a iceberg so you may be standing or swimming when you are there but either way you are upside-down although if you're swimming, you won't be for long because it's very cold and you'll be dead within' seconds so you better hope that when you go to the north pole that there is an iceberg floating over it for you to stand on....

Haha. You're funny.


Actually, my 8-year old asked me this question this morning, and I don't know how to answer it.

It beats last week's question which was, "Why are blue cats ugly?"

Actually, that's an easy one...because it's a cat!

Actually, if it's blue perhaps someone is in the process of choking it to death and therefore it becomes much cuter...

first described in his great papers in 1905.

Oh dear God.

I think she'd actually prefer learning that over how people make babies and training bras 101.

The Southern hemispere Baptists are also upset by the scientific tone of this thread that lacks any mention of ideology or creationism.

Depends on how much your car is worth...
...and how much you owe.

Yes! The blood rushes to my head every time I got to Australia. Well, it rushes to one of them.

Non in Antarctica. But if you're in Singapore, everyone in NY is upside down.

If you are then and standing on your head - yes .... otherwise .. no ....

Ok. This I get.


But how do I explain to a 8 year old why when you're at the South Pole that you're not upside down????

Gravity?

And I sure would have a sore head if we were upside down

She won't buy it if I just tell her gravity. I mean, she KNOWS people in the southern hemisphere aren't upside down. She wants to know why.

Here is a map of the world ..... you guys seem to have the wrong one



I guess it is the same as people that live on the side (everywhere but the north pole) - why does she not feel that she is standing sideways???
