Earth, Flat, Hook, Sharp

Meredith's anthropology professor posed the following question:

Of the following choices, which does not belong: Earth, Flat, Hook, Sharp. Why?

I have no idea what the correct answer is or even if there is one. I will explain my own theory in a follow-up post. What's your answer?

Edited to Add: Formulate your own theory first before peeking at the comments!

Sharp's the odd man out. They're all worms. But I still want to hear your theory.

Meredith said...

Ahh she's right!!!!! I said Hook, my thought was that people thought the earth was flat for so long. In sharp contrast it's a sphere.

I think you're right Hilary! Hilary is also known as my uber-brilliant sister!

I took an anthro class in college. Dirt was what stuck in my mind. Anthro=dirt=aha!worms.

Either that or it has something to do with Peter Pan.
