My daughter theorized that trees waving caused wind, when she was 2.

When I was a little girl I believed that I could make the wind blow because when I began running my hair would blow backwards and I would feel air brush against my skin. I also surmised in my little head that if you ran out of gas driving FORWARDS then why couldn't you drive BACKWARDS and fill the tank up?!?! And Daddy worked as a distributor for Ohio Oil Company/Marathon Oil in Findlay Ohio. Silly girl I was!!!

craftmaker758899, Wow really ?? So the people who sail around the Earth in their boats, are really luck that they don't fall off the edge then !! But I don't understand about 'mineing' - when companies mine for gold, diamonds, gas oil etc, how far can they dig before they'd dig right through to the other side ?? And is the Earth horizontal or vertical and how does the Sun reach everywhere etc - I could go on & on . . . .

I was always told don’t make unseemly faces as a wee brat coz if the wind changed I would stay like that lol my ma would say with a twinkle in her eye. Took me awhile to cotton on ;p

Suzy Z, Surely you have encountered Craftmaker in this game . His only comment , repeated frequently is “The Earth is flat” , #2445394 is just rebutting that statement
