1. Because its standing up straight .
2. Some people believe that the force from the dead people keeps it away.
3. The stones they make it out of is a weird material rock, so it makes it seem like the snow just slips right off.

What happens during the apparent retrogate motion of a planet?
When that happens, the planet moves from east to west, from our point of view. This should not be confused with the daily motion of all stars + planets due to Earth's rotation; rather, to the planet's movement against the background of the stars.
Why do earthquakes occur in hilly areas mostly?
It is not that earthquake like to be near hills, but rather that hills are created by earthquakes. When the rocks rub against each other to create an earthquake, one of them could cause the other to slip upward, depending on their shape, and this creates a hill.

What term do astronomers use for the time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun relative to the stars?
Astronomers use the term "sidereal period" to describe the time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun relative to the stars. Sidereal periods are measured based on the apparent motion of a planet against the background of fixed stars rather than against the sun. This allows for more precise measurements of a planet's orbital period.
What is on W.C. Fields gravestone?
W.C. Fields' gravestone reads "W.C. Fields 1880-1946. On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." This famous quote reflects Fields' sense of humor and his ongoing disdain for the city of Philadelphia.

Did Jim Morrison's remains get moved from Pere LaChaise in Paris to California?
Yes, apparently so, just back from Paris (12 Nov 2011) and visited the cemetery Pere LaChaise basically to see the grave of Jim Morrison and after I saw it I bumped into a rather eccentric cemetery staff member at the Oscar Wilde grave which was getting refurbished & would be open on 16 Nov 2011, who said he had worked there for roughly about 20 odd years, the staff member said that Jim Morrison's remains had been moved to Miami in 1998, after complaints from his family and his common law wife's family, because of the way that the grave was being disrespected by his 'fans', leaving cigarettes, beer and chipping bits of his gravestone off as souvenirs, I was completely shocked when he said that, it's the first time I heard it ever!!
How do you use the word necropolis in a sentence?
Seeing as it means a cemetery I suppose you could use it like this: After the person died, he/she was buried in a necropolis rather than being cremated. I hope this helps with what ever you needed it for!!!
