    I had a similar experience in school. Teacher asked the class, "What causes wind?". So I immediately chimed in "Changes in atmospheric pressure".
    I was told I was wrong, but the teacher never did come up with a viable answer herself.... And never admitted she was wrong...

    Perhaps she meant what causes farts?

    and yes, that made me realize that teachers don't know all the answers to the questions they ask.

    And by the way, the wind is the result of trees fanning the air. If you don't think so, then the next time the wind is blowing, check out the the trees and see what they're doing.

    " check out the the trees and see what they're doing."



    Depending on the wind, they could be falling or flying ...

    Yup. And if you look in the Canadian Bible, there's lots of stories about a guy named Gesus.

    OK, good point. It could be that they are actually flapping their leafed branches in a hopeless effort to fly. And some flap so hard that they break themselves off from the ground, which cuts them off from their life-support, which is why they never make it very far.

    all you guys are wrong..the wind is stationary..its just the earth spinning that makes it appear to be wind

    Mind. Officially. Blown. I will never look at wind the same way again.

    Makes sense. Wait. The earth is spinning at about a thousand miles per hour. Of course, I suppose it's possible that all the trees in the world could be blocking that wind enough to bring it down to a hundred mph or so. And I suppose the mountains could bring wind speed down even more. Bottom line is that we'll probably never know; not in our lifetime.

    the earth is going around the sun though and the sun is going around the galaxy..they cancel each other out most of the time...but sometimes we get extra windy days due to imbalance

    I stand corrected. Now I can finally explain it to my nieces and nephews. I've already told them it was the fanning of the trees, but I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong if it means they won't be walking around like idiots.

    Thanks for helping to make me a damn good uncle!

    Now If I could only find a way to explain to the nieces and nephews where rain comes from. About a year ago, one of them asked me where rain comes from. But like the wind, who really knows, right? It put me in a tough spot cuz I like for them to see me as all-knowing and stuff. So I told them that big meteors and astroids come flying in faster than hell (don't worry, I actually used the word fuck) and crash into the ocean which causes water to be sent into the atmosphere where the wind (that 1,000 mph wind) spreads it out and carries it everywhere. I also told them that thunder is the sound that those meteors and astroids make when they hit the water. I was waiting for them to ask me where meteors come from, but they didn't . . . thank god!

    Now, if I were pressed to say something concerning the actual thread topic, I would say that, despite having been a proofreader, I would never ridicule anyone whose spelling is on par with someone who is blind in one eye and can't see out the other. Neither would I ridicule a person whose grammar and writing skills reflect the thought processes of someone who possesses not even half the sense that God gave a goose. I would never do that.

    Of course, this is not to say that being in a thread with such a person isn't painful to me. It is!! But it forces me to exercise tolerance, which is a good thing . . . I guess.

    I'm not so sure about that. I read somewhere on the internet that those aren't government planes. They're commercial airliners, and that fluid is passenger urine. I've stopped researching stuff. I don't want to know anymore.
