I used to belief that the Equator was a large indentation in the world, similar to a canal, that people had to leap through to get to the other hemispheres of the world. If you stayed in the ditch for too long, then you'd be fried!!! The water would also dip along the Equator. It dipped so perfectly, the walls and the floor were exactly perpendicular!
