Why the north is in the artic?

If only humans asked more questions like this. It really opens up a whole new world of question styles. Questions like: "Why the time is in the clock?" or "How the walk is in the foot?" or "Why do parallel lines appear to meet in the distance, even if it is physically impossible?"

It even opens up a whole new way to look at answers. For instance, if we had a question about how rain formed, we wouldn't need to do a lot of tedious research about the natural cycles of the Earth. We now understand that the Earth probably just enters a patch of rain suspended out in the universe. It's not how the rain gets in the Earth, it's how the Earth gets in the rain. This also explains why you have to pee when you just went a few minutes ago. It's not that you drank more; you just entered area of "urine-force" that caused your bladder to refill. Kinda like an atmospheric equivalent of a warm spot in the pool.

So, by way of thanks for this wonderful new concept, we will almost actually answer your question. Directions like north and south are made-up human concepts that prove your irrational desire to quantify and categorize forces greater than you. Does up or down, east or west really matter when you're barely clinging to a rock ball hurtling through space, with the thinnest skin of sky between you and the howling, cold void? Especially one that is a teeny speck in a teeny universe in a teeny corner of a vast cosmos? And don't you realize you are an even smaller speck on this slightly larger speck, and really completely meaningless? Sure, a little depressing, but it makes things like murder, smoking grass, and cheating on your husband feel so much easier, seeing as goodness is as empty of meaning as evil. Cheers!
