The Earth IS Flat

A humorous read:

Quote:

Enter the Flat Earth Society. For over five hundred years humanity has believed the "round Earth" teachings of Efimovich and his followers. But all hope is not lost. For through all that time, a small but diligent band of individuals have preserved the knowledge of our planet's true shape. And now, after centuries in the Dark Ages, we believe that mankind as a whole is once again ready to embrace the truth that has forever been the Flat Earth Society. Using whatever means are deemed necessary and relying heavily on a callous disregard for the lives and well-being of our members, we have slowly but steadily been spreading the news.

Jeez, I hope they don't think I'm helping to spread the news by posting this here...

I didnt know people still believed that! I guess that kinda goes with the whole flat earth policy thingy. You know "no matter how convincing the evidence that is put in some peoples faces, they will just believe whatever they want to." Its kinda funny how convinced they really are about it too.

For remember it's the pope Jean-Paul II who officially admitted for the church that the earth was not flat.

I think of that great line from Men in Black...

1500 years ago people thought the universe centered around the Earth, 500 years ago people thought the world was flat, and 15 minutes ago you thought we were alone in the universe.

I think the idea is it's a mostly flat, but bumpy, plain that just flats at the center of the universe with everything circleing around it. looking like an up-rooted plant on the bottom.

Though this people or obviously crazy, it is nice to here that not everyone believes everything they are tolled by the media. It is unfortunate that most of the people who don't believe are crazy paranoide Kooks. Most anyway.

That's the edge. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN reach it, and you WILL fall off.
