It totally amazes me how we're flying through space at (?) speed, spinning around, tilted and in an orbit while not even feeling it ! What intrigues you about our home?

Re: Earth Facts...
Ocean currents are driven by changes in temperature. Tides on the other hand are influenced by the pull of gravity from the moon and the sun, so with the moon not being there you will still have the tidal changes from the sun's influence but not as much of a difference between the low and high tides.
Surf on the other hand is mostly driven by the weather and that too is based on the temperature changes due to the sun's warming of the oceans.
I will grant you if the moon was never up there circling the Earth life here would be different in many ways, but surfing would still be the same.

Re: Earth Facts...
Why does the hair on your arm stop growing but the hair on your head or face, if you have any, doesn't stop growing? [/QUOTE]
Interesting question, got me thinking, too!
Gotta love "ask jeeves", http://www.ask.com/:
The hairs don't stop growing, they fall off. You wouldn't notice because
they don't fall off all at once. It's the same thing with the hair on your
head, only you do cut it now and then. Maybe. :-) People who let their
hair grow uncut get hair of a certain length. Some down to the middle of
their back, some down to their buttocks, some a bit further still. This
difference is genetic. Again, it is not that their hair stops growing,
it's just that they fall off at this stage.
