I was unaware of the fact that sleeping people don't have shadows. Surely the scientific community should be told!
Maybe, if you thought about it, it would occur to you that sleeping people most usually don't see their shadows. If they do, I most certainly agree they should be told!
Thank you for your useful comment, I now have to go to inform the scientific community that you happen to think sleeping people can see their shadows.
Ciao!

I think Mad-Ade's point was that sleeping people still **have** shadows; he never said they could **see** them.
Its quite funny when people like you sinead try to seem really smart but end up looking stupid. Just because they can't see a shadow doesn't mean you don't have one. Don't try to make fun of mad-ade if he isn't even wrong!
here is a good example
Sorry this just won't work here's why:
You have a point about never seeing the shadow when your asleep; BUT you never sated the issue about " SEEING " in your teaser, you said that "it won't be there when you sleep", but it will be! That's what make it not work. Sorry. But anyway i lake the way you wrote your teaser. Keep it up

Okay guys, I'd just like to inform you I wrote this like... 4 years ago? And it's in the easy section because it doesn't involve scientific theories and such.
