Stupid question of the day. If you are at the North Pole standing on a ladder with wheels,

will the light bulb screw itself in as the earth rotates? Will it unscrew at the South pole?

  • When I was really little I always thought that the North Pole was part of the earths axis and if you broke that pole the earth would spin off into space. That always scared me that someone would go break it ;)

  • I used to think that when it was one season here, it was the same.season all over the world. That's.why they had the.Olympics during summer. That way everybody could come.

  • "Ya, but it would take two days
    for the bulb to be screwed all the way in." :)
