I petted one once. Not sure it was a great idea...but it was situational...and in the moment.

Got really used to them on dives in South FL. Like the barracudas that would follow us around, always maintaining a certain distance of a few feet, no matter if you moved toward them or away.

I have an experiment for the first. Start 2 people at the equator 1000 km apart. When they reach the north pole, measure the distance between them.

Then there is geodesics. Consider an aeroplane. The most efficient method of travel from point A to point B is a straight line. However, when this straight line of travel is transposed upon a sphere, it is not straight at all. It is geodesic. This is the explanation for the proposed experiment. If the Earth is flat, the two individuals will never meet. If the Earth is a sphere, they with converge at the apex.

Let's meet at the equator and go for a walk. You owe me a beer if we meet at the top. Cheers.

I would love to share a few drinks sir.

I do have a couple of observations however. If we are both walking with a compass to tell us where the north pole is, when we get there, we will be in the same place. a compass always points to the north pole. no matter where you start you will get to the north pole from following the way a compass points. EVEN IF THE EARTH IS FLAT.



I agree that airplanes use straight lines to get from one part of the earth to another.



and just because I'm feeling frisky


No joke. let's get a beer! ✌

Hey B, I’ll make a legitimate contribution to your K-18 fund, but you know which one I want, and it
isn’t one of these. I’m just a PM away……
 
I haven't tried that Sierra Nevada one, I will check it out. My current favorite IPA is "Now Youse Can't Leave," it has no business being as smooth as it is.
