Ultimate Tanks!

Well of course it is! Just look at any atlas map of the world...

In fact if you look at a world map that has the North on top, the natural orientation of our planet is North to the left and South to the right.
Seen this way, the Earth rotates the normal way.

North is placed on top, but is it logical to do so?
The ancient maps (Piri Reiss etc) show the South pole as top, as have egyptian maps.
It is only because of northern hemisphere colonialism that the presumption of North to the top has come about.

Attempts at so-called "proper" orientation are clearly arbitrary.

Sorry Cyberia, we seem to have hijacked your thread.

Hey, on that map sweden won't be needin' blue pills...

Now thats just too cool, maybe thats why he stood there in front of those tanks, so the Beatles could pass by.

But without looking do you remember what was odd about Paul in that photo?

Ummm...if North is on top then isn't West to the left and East to the right, with south on the bottom (as it should be!)?

He was bare footed, part of the "Paul is Dead" hysteria.

In fact, there are "clues" linking the other three to that theory as well.

Know what they are?

You have got to be kidding. This is hilarious.

I'll just keep posting my tanks and you two keep doing what you two are doing.

Ewwww, Paul you got me intrigue, i knew the first, no shoes, but your saying what the other guys are wearing is a clue too??

That's what was reported at the time it was all going on. Each of the other three Beatles' clothing supposedly supported the "bare foot" clue.


Ah, but how?

I suspect Jim knows.

It was how they were dressed. John was in white, preacher; Ringo is in black, the undertaker; Paul is barefoot and out of step with the others (right foot forward), the deceased; and George in work clothes, a grave digger.

Also Paul's eyes are closed (like a corpse). Paul is smoking with his right hand (he is left handed) suggesting perhaps a double/imposter.

The VW bug that is parked on the left side of the street has a license plate that says '28IF'. Paul would have been 28 when this album was released, IF he would have lived.

The license plate also says 'LMW' which stands for 'Linda McCartney Weeps'.

The car on the right may be an English hearse.

But your cyclones (hurricanes to us in North America) do spin in the opposite direction. How water goes down a drain has more to do with the angle at which it is introduced and the shape of its container, and nothing to do with location. There's a good discussion of this totally irrelevant material at Which Way Does Water Spin Down a Drain?.

Actually, you are wrong. Hurricanes spin the same direction in both hemispheres. The angular momentum vector points in the same direction (think right hand rule) because the rotation of a hurricane is cause by the Earths rotation (think Coriolis force), which only has one direction. If the Earth was transparent and you looked at hurricanes in both hemispheres you would see what I mean, the spin direction is the same. It has to be! The problem is that the OBSERVER is upside down below the equator, so the hurricanes APPEAR to rotate backwards. It's all about flushin' turds....

Isn't Physics a wonderful thing!
