Has anyone else been reduced to this sort of thing?

Last week, I was ambling around the various topics here when I came across an innocent-looking phrase. It was to do with the initial singularity before the big bang and whoever was writing said that it was "spinning clockwise". Can't remember who it was, or why. Anyway, it got me thinking about "clockwise" in relation to the spin of planets and your perspective on it. I won't go into the gory details, but my musings had the unfortunate result of my husband wandering into the bathroom at 11.30pm to find me with my head on the floor between my feet (muscles screaming in agony) yelling "Is my hand going clockwise or anticlockwise?!I hope you bunch of reprobates are pleased with yourselves that you've now got my hubby thinking I've lost my one remaining marble.Now the question to you all. When you come across discussions that are outwith your own field of expertise do you find yourselves doing the same sort of thing and going to further and further extremes to try to work it out for yourselves?

My experiment was sort of along the lines of "If I am upside down would an anticlockwise-spinning planet (determined when upright) appear to be spinning clockwise when upside down and also for Australians? Yeah, I know this sounds weird, but it was niggling me and I have great difficulty thinking in 3 dimensions ( I tell myself DNA is four dimensional and it makes life easier for me when it comes to my work). I have been known to prod hubby awake at 3am to test my theories about the path of the Hale-Bopp comet. I'm lucky I'm still alive
