0 itachi-san Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Another answer: tires or wheels. As fast as an eagle, as slow as a slug. they can move fast or slow As tall as a tree, as small as a bug. could be a monster truck tire next to a sapling or a micro-machines or matchbox car tire next to a beetle Sometimes in front, sometimes behind. Front tires or rear tires Never on top, and always aligned. These 2 can be refuted but hopefully you see the point, also the answer of a shadow can be refuted here as well. What if a tree was next to me casting its shadow on my head. Then a shadow would be on top of me.

0 Guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 If we say your own shadow,not just shadow,then never can be on top of you. not true- what if some part of your body is casting a shadow on your body? such as your own hand being above your head and being between the light source and the top of your head, thereby resulting in a shadow on top of your head. get it?
