    So if the earth spins how come a guy never ends up standing upside down when it spins 180 degrees? shock

    Skeeter – guessing that was in jest and I’m no expert, but just in case…

    It’s because we have an atmosphere enabled by our magnetic field that prevents solar winds from stripping it. Your mass has much more pressure applied to it inside of it. That combined with the continuous spin of the earth on it’s axis, as well as, it’s orbit around the sun all produce gravitational forces that prevent you from “falling out” into space or perceiving an “upside down” orientation.

    Something like that anyway. Regardless, it’s a miracle we are here and exist no matter what you believe.

    I can confirm through personal experience that this is true.

    I have been to the southern tip of New Zealand, which if you look at the globe, is way down at the bottom. Surely, anyone standing there would be aware that the are obviously upside down?

    But nay! Despite my fears, I had not the slightest feeling of being inverted. And I never saw anyone fal off the earth the whole time I was there.

    Reef, no idea on the acronym. Maybe just spell it out.

    Probably only funny to me… There’s a terrible but hilarious song called Miracles that some of the things like rainbow posts reminded me of reading through them. Water, fire, air, and dirt… Freaking magnets, how do they work?

    Even they know the earth is round though coffee

    Edit: I forgot how much they swear on this, oops

    Chemtrails from all the planes you see? No, contrails.

    However, when Uncle Sam does stupid things like cloud seeding, it turns the conspiracy into somewhat of a reality.
