Hi there - this is Dec - the font of trivial infomation
Yesterday I was asked if I would like to start my own thread - on this sort of info I guess - so two or three things
This is light-hearted - but you can be serious about being light-hearted
I hope this is the right place for this kind of post - I think it is because we are enjoying time with others
And - anyone feel free to jump in - please jump in!!!! This is to find all sorts fo trivial info - and laugh - hopefully - or cry if you want to.
I'll start with a couple or three of the things I think of in the middle of the night
1. Seeing as the world is a sphere -
who is it that decides that the Northern Hemiphere is always at the top?
2. Why do nurses in hospital wake me up to ask how I am feeling, or am I dreaming? -
please add your own experiences
3. Did Dad's home cures really work - my brother and I did stop complaining
but just because we stopped complaining - were we cured?
Let's see how these go. If they are okay - let's continue - I need your feedback here
Decadian
Now I am hitting Post - hoping this is okay

Hi @Decadian , found it!
1. Seeing as the world is a sphere -
who is it that decides that the Northern Hemiphere is always at the top?
As the age of enlightment and the cartogrpahy of the world started at the top (Europeans) and they are the map makers it all got upside down. I am sure if Australian aboriginals had mapped theworld it would have looked MUCH different. My guess is if I were an Alien coming at the world from intersteallar space I'd aim for the biggest island! 🙂 The centre of the universe.... The great Southern land.
and
a favorite of mine to try to remind myself to look at the world anew.
