Which only got me thinking: Is the Internet flat?

I don't know about the rest of the internet but Boards is definitely flat .....as opposed to threaded.

For those of you looking for an unusual Christmas present for the conspiracy theorist in your life, why not make them a flat earth globe just like the picture above...

http://makingmaps.wordpress.com/2007/09/19/making-flat-earth-globes/

What if the world really was flat, it is all a conspiracy to say the world is round and that we don't revolve around our sun but in fact our sun and actually the whole universe revolves around us, we are a flat planet but it's too much to take in for people to realise the whole universe is our responsibility. So we make up gods and other excuses, fake photographs from the fake landing on the "moon" and the public at large are none the wiser.
The stories about circumnavigating the world where also all lies, they just went North by North West then South a bit and ended up where they started.

Ha! I couldn't believe you were still posting me. I thought it was an elaborate counter-trollism operation on your behalf. :]

Gladly. The Earth is flat. We all know this. If the Earth was a sphere, then the people on the bottom would fall off.

Sure, people can take photos from space, circumnavigate the "globe" but we all know, inherently, that the Earth is under our feet, is flat. It has to be. Otherwise there'd be no up or down.

You mean that we see the world as being flat from where we stand?

Now I know why the Flat Earth Society was disbanded! People started taking them seriously and started arguing with them/understanding their viewpoint!:eek::p

What are you talking about? I am not arguing their viewpoint... Talk about lost in translation, I am trying to understand wtf you were talking about when you said "it's a state of mind" as it didn't make any sence to me... christ.

Clearly the fact nobody has fallen off the edge would convince them its a sphere..

AAh but if you read on you see they say the edge is surrounded by a wall of ice (i.e. Antarctica)... And the only ones who've penetrated it are the arctic explorers, some of which never came back!

I was going to ask how they explained gravity, because if by some miracle the disc didn't collapse in on itself, we should all feel like we live on a hill (Except people at the north pole)... but it seems there is no gravity, instead the Earth is accelerating upwards!

It doesn't explain why people in the southern hemisphere seem to be able to travel so fast... Maybe there is some kind aeroplane-accelerating effect in the "outer" hemi...disc?
