Paraphrasing, as my memory is not THAT good: We know the north pole is magnetic, that means that there's a lot of metal there. So we'll tape a magnet to the top of this basketball representing the earth, and float it in some water, representing space. Now watch as north pole spins around to the bottom, as it's heavier than the rest. Therefor, the north pole is actually at the bottom of the planet. ;-) -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
