What would a chair look like if our knees bent the other direction

The same, we'd just sit backwards.

If you live right on the earth's equator, does water spiral down the drain, and if so which direction does it flow?

The water went straight down when I was there.

Then we'd need our front bottoms on our back and our back bottoms on the front.

How many sides, does a three dimensional octagon have?

Thinking about this again, we'd freeze to death pretty quickly. The heat gets to us by radiation so it would get cold really quickly.

SeanH, but we wouldn't have enough time to lose the heat we have before the shockwave killed us all. Like if you pour yourself a hot cup of coffee. No new heat is going in, but it takes a while for the old heat to leave. If Earth couldn't retain heat well, we'd freeze to death every night. (Kind of like the moon and Mercury do.) If you just removed the sun's heat, but kept it's gravitational effects and light, you probably wouldn't personally notice for a few hours. And then we'd all die, slowly and unstoppably.

Water flow down a drain isn't determined by hemisphere. You could easily build a sink to make the water go whatever direction you want. Water goes down a toilet a certain way because most toilets give it a certain push in one direction or the other. You can put your toilet on a boat and travel the seven seas, and the water will always go down the same way.

Eight. Or it wouldn't be an octagon.

Holmesian answer: He doesn't want food, he wants the Roadrunner. For the amount of money you spend on a nice date, you could easily visit an AMP and get a handjob, but it's the girl that matters, specifically.

Doylian answer: Coyote's ordering take-out aren't funny.

He's referring to the Coriolis effect

I'm am not doing second order differentials just to work out how fast the Earth would cool down, but bear in mind that the Earth is never out of direct sunlight.

What temp would the earth's internal source of heat keep us without the sun?

Not warm enough.

hmmm.... we could just turn all the heating on since we'd not have long left so it wouldn't matter if we used it all

You have just managed to sum up the "right's" energy policy in a single sentence.

Bravo!

Without further evidence I will say yes. With the qualification that big is not always bad.

i'm good like that - this is what comes of them believing the world as they know it's due to end soon ("what with goddamned gay marriages and a negro president") so fuck everyone else, they're still going to heaven to eat prime rib and have nubile 18 year olds at their sexual beckoning. or something.

No need. There's no such thing. The clue is in the -gon. Otherwise it would be -hedron.
