Actually I would think that your friend may be right? I mean the earths supposedly spinning at 17000 mph. so all a plane has to do is go up and face into the direction its spinning and the earth should spin by underneath it at 17000 mph then the pilot just needs to come down and land the plane. Seems logical to me. :)

Actually flying West usually results in slower flight. Reason: The jet stream generally flows from West to East resulting in a headwind and slower flight.

You mean it's not...........LOL. That is great especially being a flight attendant. I work with a girl who is this confused on the little things in life. I've had to explain to her what Menthol is. That gas pills really don't get you extra gas mileage....her dad got her involved in this scam........and the best was when she asked me who Saint Mitchell was..........I didn't know. So she showed me the medal her Mom gave her.........It was Saint Michael..........and that is just the tip of the iceburg.

I was out with this girl one time and we went to watch the submarine races and while pondering over the night sky I asked if she had seen the recent lunar eclipse. She said yes, and then she said, "Has anyone figured out why that happens?" I took her home.
Another time I was on a field trip at a Civil war battlefield and this girl in my class walked over to the park ranger and asked, "How did they fight with all these monuments in the way?" She was dead serious.

"Are Chinese people from China?" one of my friends said "No.... Japan" and she said "Oh... Ok" and looked disappointed taht she was wrong
another was
"Do dolphins have fins on their backs?"

O.o, I thought that too. Only that it was the other way around. When you go ---> the earth goes <--- so I thought it makes you go faster. Because usually when I fly to China it takes long, but then when I fly back to NY it feels like it's faster.

that people think that truck drivers are uneducated people, when in fact, they attend training seminars on a regular basis. i teach a class a week to a different company. anyone who reads this, listen up, share the road with the trucks, they can hurt you. also, they do have blind spots, if you can't see them in their mirror, they can't see you. they are not stupid

A girl in a baking class I took thought that by sifting flour you would make it lighter in weight. She once asked me how much unsifted flour she should use to get a pound of sifted flour, because she wanted to compensate for it.

In 4th grade, a kid in my class walked up to a map (you know, the one with the red dot and says "You are Here"), looked around, realized that we really were there, and exclaimed, dead seriously, "How does it know we're here?!"
