    The only problem with that 'flat earth' theory, is the roundness of the earth, its globe shaped essence and the fact that it is not flat.

    Oh and if it was flat it would have to be on the backs of very large Elephants, which would have to stand on an even bigger Turtle...

    I read somewhere that if it was scaled up, a snooker ball would have higher peaks and troughs on the surface than the earth does.

    If the moon was replaced by a sphere of coal the same size it would appear a lot brighter in the sky. Coal is not a good reflector of light but moon rock is a lot worse.

    If the Earth were scaled down to the size of a basketball, the moon would be the size of a tennis ball 24ft away.

    My eldest daughter dislocated hers playing netball at school - I've seen her swipe her kneecap back into position twenty/thirty times at least, she can put it back as long as she does it the instant that it pops out.

    Fair play to her.
    I’ve seen it with shoulders playing rugby but never a knee cap

    I do like the RIP message from the Flat Earth Society
    There’s worth epitaphs than going out of this world being referred to as a Glorious Bastard!

    In her case it's gotta be done instantly, when it happens it causes her to grimace - if it doesn't go straight back it's a trip to A&E in absolute agony to be given gas and air and manipulated back :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    I'm onboard with most conspiracy theory nonsense.

    Just from a position of stubborn intransigence really.

    And because it tends to piss people I dislike off.


    Elvis isn't dead. Neither is Lord Lucan. Or indeed that Welsh self-harmer bloke who held The Manics back for all those years.


    Lizard people do control all the world's leaders. Mars does have life on it. Aliens are amongst us (and many of them are called Kevin).


    Ok? Disprove it.

    No, I mean really, scientifically disprove it.


    You can't. Testability allows for the possibility that we may simply not know.



    But flat Earth?

    **** me. How many proofs do you need that the planet you live on is spherical(ish).


    I've flown and sailed round the bugger. We've mapped it's roundness using satellites that are orbiting it. I have a globe that shows were everything is.


    I love a conspiracy theory me, but if you believe the Earth is flat you're a dippy ****. FACT.
