> Yeah, Antartica TOTALLY rules. Even if you own a globe, it doesn't help much to see it, because some wiseguy figured that it would be best to put the axes of a globe on the axes of the earth, although you COULD plunk them down in the middle of oceans on opposite sides of the world so all the land masses are completely visible. But OH, NO, we can't mess people up like THAT. Fine. Let the little people play with their globes... Let them spin them... And shine lights on them, and pretend the lights are the sun... And simulate the seasons by shifting the angle at which the light shines... And spin the globe to simulate day and night... And watch it go aROUND and aROUND in its hypnotic little pattern... Ooh, spinny...

Whoa, you *really* wandered in that post. I thought you were going to complain about how the base of the globe always obscured Antarctica so that you can't look at it, but then you got all into that spinny globe mesmerization thing and forgot all about it!
