"I was at my cottage looking at the stars at night with a friend and she turned to me and asked: "are there countries in the sky?" I didn't know what she meant so I asked her to explain and then she said: "Well, are there any countries in the world that are just kind of, in the sky?" I was so confused that I just sat there in silence but eventually she says "I mean, is there land on the earth in the sky where people live that are countries?" At that point I just gave up and said "no" and she replied "oh, okay" so reassuringly"
"I live in a high-altitude town in the mountains. Every week, I hear this question:
"At what elevation do the deer turn into elk?"
WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE THINK THIS!? WHY!?"

The moon can appear very different if you went to a different latitude. If they traveled from Texas to South Africa, it would look upside down.

Kendra,
...just like the Sun flipping over at 12:00 PM sharp. Most people don't notice because it happens so fast. (always use approved eye protection).

Alverta,
Sun and moon actually are the same thing, the sun just looks different in the dark and then we call it moon

#15 - Studies have actually determined the more data you store on a USB drive, the lighter it gets. Blank ones are al 0's and stored data contains 1's and 0's and 1's weigh less than 0's.

Yeah technically, yes your device does get heavier by a very, very tiny amount when you put more data on it.

Nobody will ever read this: But this is the best comment section I ever read on Izi. Also in flash memory or EPROM data is saved by putting or removing some electrons on the floating gate. Therefore the weight actually changes a tiny bit when you safe data.
