    There are people who still believe that the earth is not spherical or egg-shaped...but is actually..Flat. Yes.People who use computers to post their thoughts on the internet. I was laughing hard.

    here is your chance to laugh hard too!

    just read some of the replies of the 'defenders' of the concept.:lol::banghead:

    eg:

    Well, it's like this:


    1. They are airplanes (really fast government airplanes)
    2. They are unexplained phenomenae that the Government uses to back up their claims.

    I was seriously shocked when I first read about them. They have no excuse being so stupid. I could accept it if they were Amish or something, but these people are living among us. Creepy.

    That is by far the stupidest shit I've ever read.

    The explaniation for fluctuations in gravity:

    "One proposed explanation is that the stars each some some mass, and therefore have a slight gravitational pull. The higher you climb, the closer you are to the stars, resulting in a slight upwards pull. This makes it appear that you weigh less as you gain altitude. Keep in mind this is only a proposed explanation, we have not tested it as yet."

    We should forcibly sterlize all these people to prevent them from passing on the stupid gene.

    This is much funnier than those zany conspiracy believers. God has a sense of humor all right.

    I'm at a loss for words...
    Ironically, I was wondering if anyone still believed the earth was flat a few days ago.

    Yeah, but God has a sick sense of humour. That is my point of view.

    If there are people who get horny off of Shyguy and Boo, anything is possible. Yes, there are people like that. Oh and btw, how much do you want to bet that there is at least one "The moon IS made of cheese!" topic in the alternate science forum?

    I hear a toilet flushing in the distance. Must be the remaining shreds of this site's crediability going down the crapper

    Q: If you go directly south won’t you eventually fall off the edge of the Earth?

    A: Yes, you will. In order to use this fact as proof you need to record a video of someone flying directly south around the world without falling off the edge. Furthermore you need to prove that your navigational equipment allows you to travel directly south without deviating.

    ^priceless?
