I asked if a sniper compensates for curvature of the earth.
Apparently not !

During prohibition , moonshiners would wear "Cow Shoes" . The footwear left hoof prints instead of foot prints , helping the distillers and smugglers evade the authorities .

Re: Interesting And Fun Facts
The Queen does not have a passport.
From the Royal Family’s website: "As a British passport is issued in the name of Her Majesty, it is unnecessary for The Queen to possess one". It adds that all other members of the royal family, including The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales, do have passports.
