                    the Earth move under your feet! Hold 
                    a baseball bat on the floor with the handle up. Rest your 
                    forehead on the top of the handle and walk around the bat 
                    several times keeping your head in this position. Now stand 
                    up and check out how you feel. Dizzy? Your sense of balance 
                    is affected by fluid in the canals of your inner ear. When 
                    you spin around with your head up, the fluid moves in one 
                    direction but when your head is in another position, you create 
                    all kinds of motion. With your head resting on the bat's handle 
                    and then straightening up after you've moved in a circle everything 
                    seems to be tilting and spinning.   |
