In the following article, I used the wrong number to get the circumference of the Earth at the latitude of Cape Canaveral, which ironically is what I accuse Ms. vos Savant of as well! ... At the Equator, the Earth spins at 1000 miles per hour (the Earth is 24,000 miles around, and spins once every 24 hours). ... The math is a wee bit hairy, but not too bad, to calculate the circumference of the Earth at Cape Canaveral assuming the Earth is an ellipse with these numbers...

... The circumnuclear GASEOUS disks are often decoupled from the circumnuclear stellar disks and are even stronger inclined to the outer disk planes; in fact, we have found a considerable `population' of inner polar rings. Inner gas polar rings are found as in spiral galaxies with the massive outer gas disks co-planar to the main symmetry planes (e.g. NGC 2841, Sil'chenko et al. 1997, and NGC 7217, Sil'chenko & Afanasiev 2000) as well in many lenticular galaxies (Fig. ...
