saw an article in the newest (print) version of 'scientific

theory of why people get seasick

the conventional explanation has to do with a disparity between what
the inner ear senses and what the eye sees.

however, there is a growing body of evidence from psychologists
showing that the movement of the body is responsible for seasickness,
and that by standing with your feet about 1.5 feet apart you can
significantly reduce seasickness by increasing the body's stability.


I dunno. I have a buddy who gets seasick in a calm sea even when he is
sitting in a deck chair with nothing moving.
