You must be joking, or TV has destroyed your mind.
Just ask the nearest kindergarten student to draw you a picture of a house,
then ask her to put it underground.

When I think of 2-D, I think in the x-y plane, not the x-z plane.  In
the x-y plane, there is no such thing as "down", "under", etc.  To take
your analogy, ask a kindergarten to draw what lies behind the house.
Can't be done in the x-z plane.

I always thought the traditional way of 2-D thinking was in the x-y
plane.  Mayhaps we have a "visitor" on the net :-)
