The earth is flat. Really!

Or at least some people seem to think so!

What a crazy world!

One of their number, who called himself Grigori Efimovich, would later be known to the rest of the world as Christopher Columbus.
Is that true?

After spending over sixteen million dollars and using over 48 thousand yards of industrial strength strapping tape, we of the Flat Earth Society were able to construct an enormously powerful neurotransmitter that can implant suggestions directly into the brains of the nearby non-Flat Earthers. Having set it up just outside of the Russian Antarctic exploration post (Vostok), we are awaiting word that all three scientists and 174 penguins have been shown the light.
Guess it's all in good fun.

Pretty silly.

The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut.

For a good laugh!

LOL. I particularly loved the argument that "while the flat earth society understands that someone on the north pole would be able to stand on the earth, if it was round, the guys on the bottom would be pulled off by gravity..."

Good luck finding the North Pole! It is all water - or soon will be. Mind you, my kids watch the news and hearing that the ice shelves are/have melted makes the whole Santa thing a topic of concern and anxou.

I watched a program this weekend about the mini ice age that occured just a few hundred years ago.
Maybe we are just warming up after that?
I personally don't buy the global warming being caused by pollution theory. I figure it is part of a naturally occuring and sometimes random cycle.
