This can't be a coincidence. Something has to be going on. Do you have a refrigerator in your attic that is that exact shape?

    I was thinking the same thing, but here's my guess:

    -Cold, foggy night/morning = frost forming

    -Cloudy until early-morning so the sun doesn't warm the shingles

    -Clouds clear up a bit by mid-morning, and the sun rapidly warms up the shingles, leading to the frost evaporating quickly relative to the shadow's motion

    Tides goes in, tide goes out. Can’t explain that.

    When you get in the bath, the water sloshes back and forth. When you hit a tuning fork, it doesn't matter how, it vibrates at the same frequency. Put those two together and it's the same thing with the sea, only bigger and wetter. People are always chucking things in the sea, like new boats and stuff.

    AKSHUALLY comparing shadows across the Earth is a great way to prove it is in fact an oblate spheroid. The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes used shadows to calculate the size of the Earth over 2000 years ago and he got pretty damn close. He didn't need to prove the Earth was round, because people weren't idiots like some are these days.

    Who is your wife that is so wise in the ways of science?

    BTW, you really should fix that sagging soffit and close the gap where the fascia meets the fireplace - don't want critters getting in.

    I'm guessing it's 20~25 degrees there?
