I knew that the earth was spherical for as long as I can remember... but I do remember a time (until I was 4 or 5) that I believed that people on the other side had to hold on to these rungs when they moved from building to building to keep from falling out into space. I thought the houses were made so that the people walked on what we think of as the ceiling... with their feet facing the sky.
