That almost implies day vs night, to me, since clear would have to mean no clouds, but no sun, either. Has anyone noticed how often 'clear' appears, as opposed to 'sunny'?

I know, right? I find it kind of exciting, actually. Day versus night. lol
But, you know, clear doesn't always mean no sun. "Sunny" could very well just mean something like "partly cloudy" or whatever.
I'm not sure when the weather tick is (the one that changes the weather from sunny to cloudy or whatever) but next time I have a ton of spare time and characters outside I'll look at that.

Enough about weather! Let's have a science fact instead!

Did you know, that less than 1% of the world's population has complete heterochromia? Clearly, more proof that Cantrians aren't really human... :roll:

This is only proof that Cantrians are not from present or near future day Earth. I'm sure humans could increase their population of any particular currently rare trait over enough generations, even to the point where only 1% didn't have heterochromia, and they wouldn't be any less human.

To prove Cantrians are not human, please see spawning, Cantrian diets, Cantrian healing abilities, Cantrian sleep patterns, Cantrian aging (or lack there of, rather), Cantrian mental abilities (such as knowing how to make all of a set number of things and complete lack of ability to invent new things without potentially everyone gaining the same knowledge all at once), and Cantrian fighting and hunting abilities. That is not necessarily an exhaustive list.

Nope, it says they're human right there on the top of my screen, clearly you're wrong.

Thinking about it maybe all the people with heterochromia or weird anime hair or whatever have the right idea after all, Cantrians must be mutants or aliens or something. One day an archaeologist in Cantr City will dig up the remains of the ship that dropped the first newspawn spores.

Anomalies in Cantrian world.

The density mass equivolent has already been touched upon pointing to a vacuum with no atmosphere.
The fact that gasses and liquid can be held with no containers says lack of gravity. Further evidence of a vacuum atmosphere yet contradicted by the use of bellows.

Cantrians must be incredibly small. if 2kilos of bone and 1 kilo of hide in a kayak will support a person on water. The fact that it does support again points to limited gravity.

As mentioned before boats cross land at times. Just like cars can cross lakes. Or there's bridges across some of those lakes on Cantr island.

I still cant figure out how you can put 1 gram of bones in a container then fill the container with iron yet be able to retrieve the bone without having to move the iron.

Just a few things that puzzle me.

I'm just putting it out there it's stated on the wiki that grams and kilos have no connection to the actual grams and kilos we use in the real world, so a gram could be extremely heavy or extremely light in cantr.

Of course that doesn't help the world of cantr make any more sense.. probably makes less, actually. :roll: :lol:
