If you have the desire to....

..........cross every line of longitude on earth, and you choose to travel by foot, car, boat or plane, your journey will describe a circle of roughly 25,000 miles - if you start at the equator.  But if you were to go to the north (or south) pole, you could simply lift up one leg and hop in a circle! If you were a ballet dancer, you could even do a pirouette. (Ha, that's plain crazy!  You wouldn't get me wearing a tutu at one of the Polar regions.  Come to that, you wouldn't get me.....)

People who go to extremes can sometimes cover a whole lot less ground!
