I love Calvin and Hobbes. This was almost my exact reaction after finding that out. I'm still not sure if I like knowing that little bit of information.

I figured it out through physically acting it out in a rehearsal for my ballet studio's Nutcracker production... All of the dancers playing "soldiers" were told to form a size-sorted column with tallest in the center, then march in sync counter-clockwise to rotate it a quarter-turn. So the kids nearer the middle almost were marching in place, while way the eff out at the column's edge, I was taking the biggest "march" steps I could manage just to keep up!

And the earth rotates at a rate of one revolution per day. One revolution per day at the outside of a 12" record is less than 1/2000 of an inch per second . On the other hand one revolution per day for someone in New York spinning around with the earth is about 300 metres per second...

Heh.

My eyes zeroed in on the last frame first. When I started from the beginning, I was expecting Dad to show him what happens when you play some records backwards.

"Number nine...number nine...number nine..."

:-O

Yeah, in one way it makes sense to me, and in another it bugs/confuses the heck out of me.

I've pondered it pointlessly many times myself. :-p
