Hrm..  I've always wondered about this one constellation..  I live in the West Coast, and I always see these 3 stars that line up together..  3 dots that make a straight line..

Does anyone know which constellation this is?  I always though it was Orion’s Belt.. but I’m not sure..
Yes, it is Orion's Belt.

It's not really a constellation, just part of the constellation Orion Wink
This is orion. What you're seeing is the 3 stars that are in a straight line that forms the belt. Its supposed to be a guy fighting off a lion with a club in one hand and the lion in the other.

Kinda looks like an elf from lord of the rings shooting an arrow or something. Toungue
I've change the topic name, because I have yet another random question, and decided not to make a new thread Toungue

Has anyone ever noticed that on Buses or large trucks/vans, the front 2 wheels' rims come out. They're like outward cones or something.. However, all the wheels after the first 2 go inward..

Is there a reason for this? Like weight division or something?
They have the exact same rims front and back. The difference is that the back wheels have 2 wheels per rim Wink
