Gravity is a funny thing.

Either the earth is in fact round or the entire scientific community, the world’s aviation industry, cartographers, geologists, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum are all in cahoots and up to their ochsters in a conspiracy to mislead the 1/20th of the western world that isn’t somehow involved in said conspiracy.

I invoke Occam’s Razor.

Check the copyright date on that - 1980. The FlatEarth Society is very old news.

I’m not sure, but I don’t think that fella shaves.

Johnson’s beliefs are firmly grounded in the Bible.

Yes, and armed with razors. Some fanatics tend to take things literally.

Who’s “they?”

@Cofaidh

Who’s “they?”

The Flattists.

[Innocent_Bystander]

Kipling wrote an amusing short story called “The Village that voted the Earth was Flat”. It involved an early incidence of speed restrictions being abused. I’d love for someone to make a film of it…

@Rhadge

@Cofaidh

Who’s “they?”

The Flattists.

And all those who have upheld the great conspiracy. Aeronautic Engineers, Geologists, Cartographers…you name it.

[WyoBadger]

also, world travelers.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! Maybe THIS is that happened to Amelia Erhardt all those years ago–her plane hit the edge, somewhere out there in the Pacific, and Kapow! she shot off into space!

Seriously, I wonder…are these people, you know, serious?

[Coffee]

I guess, as one who has flown from Korea to Seattle, and from London to Dallas, I would also qualify as one of “they.”

You have to wonder.

Check the Mission Statement. It’s hard to take seriously. But, apparently they are serious. I think.
