I was browsing the BBC News website (bbc.co.uk) today, and noticed they had posted an article on the Flat Earth Society, and how they believe, of course, that the Earth is flat. Well, not so much flat, but a thick disk (think of a fat coin!).
Here's the BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7540427.stm
Whilst of course the idea of a flat Earth is complete and utter nonsense IMHO, I figured I would pop over to the Flat Earth Society's website and check out their forums. There are many nutters there, as can be expected, however it is really interesting to read some of the pro flat Earth arguments when someone comes along and poses a question.
Anyway, here's my boring link for today:
http://www.theflatearthsociety.net/forum/
It's almost like a religion to some of them. No matter what evidence you produce to show they are wrong, they will argue their way out of it.
Stuff like this keeps me awake at night! |

Hey look, it's Shiver! I bought your book. It's kind of brilliant.
As to the that society... It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be. Maybe we should sponsor a trip up to space for them so that they could see for themselves that the Earth is spherical.
Dumbasses. Some people were born without logical thought. It's a shame they are allowed on the internet. |

Do they offer white water rafting holidays at the edge of the world?
I might go and ask them what they make of satellite photos.
Edit: I see they already thought of that.

I tried to sign up, but the pages take so long to load, they probably have, on priciple, a clockwork server.
They so wouldn't want me as a moderator.

I think their site is slow due to the traffic that I assume the BBC article is generating. The same happened to Eater some time ago. |

Do they have any Australian members?
If so, do they post upside down? |

What I want to know right is that if the world is flat how come all the water doesn't run off the edges of the planet? Have they built huge walls to stop it slopping away? a bit like Holland but on a vast scale. Also if it's flat how thick is it and also don't our Antipodean friends get a headache from a mad rush of blood to the head after being down under for so long. They must also have to wear lead boots to stop them drifting off into deep space 9.
Questions. Questions. So many questions... |

Mr. Happy, we can only hope it does. It would make it far more interesting.
I tried the link to their website. It was like using dial up again. I'm just curious about how flat planets would work given what he know about physics. How would a flat planet form? Would there be gravitational anomolies? Is there a giant conspiracy to hide the "flat Earth truth" from the general population? |

Apparently it hatches from a giant egg as was detailed in one of the Pratchett books. Planet formation and gravitational mass is overated and require lots of complex equations. Everyone knows about eggs! |
