A friend told me (and I didn't totally disbelieve him either) that when you go in an aeroplane on holiday, the plane just flies around and around in the sky, while the people on the ground change the scenery and the temperature. The more complicated the change, the longer you stayed in the sky (which is why places like Japan take so long to get to). Then, when the people on the ground were finished, you would land back at the same place, but never know the difference!

- I thought Oklahoma was a place in Japan (due to it weird name :P), and Japan gave it to USA later.— Luiz Alfonso
- I thought ground beef was the meat they scraped off the ground at the slaughterhouse. Yuck.Anon
