Dan Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 O.K., so not all people have a Ph.D., most may not have a master's, but I found an individual who may need some additional schoolwork. I asked my sister-in-law, simply for fun, in your neighborhood, in which direction does the sun set. After a few seconds of deer-in-the-headlight looks, she said, "North??" “From ghoulies and ghosties, And long-leggedy beasties, And things that go bump in the night, Good Lord, deliver us! “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosey Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Anyone who has seen Beauty and the Beast knows that the sun rises in the East. Tale as old as time Tune as old as song Bittersweet and strange Finding you can change Learning you were wrong Certain as the sun [b]Rising in the east[/b] Tale as old as time Song as old as rhyme Beauty and the Beast DOY.

Moosey Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Yeah. I know. Use your head, it rises in the East....therefore.....it sets in the West. It only makes sense.

Dan Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 I am ambidextrous The sun rises in the East anf if you go far enough east you will be returning from the west. That being the case, it may be said that the sun rises in the west. Once that has been established, it sets in the south only because the north already has the compass pointing that way.

Dan Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Isn't that rather much the same as a train moving from New York on a single track and is moving West ( left ) while another train leaves LA moving right ( east ) on the same single line. When would they meet?? East is east and west is west and never the trains will meet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
