Cape Town-Johannesburg-London-Hong Kong-Jakarta was quite a rough one, but it was free (someone paid for me with air miles) Teleportation would be bliss. ---

So all of the suffering and none of the instant teleportation? I feel a little ripped off. Also, as I have said before, who made the _north pole_ centre of the flat earth? Us southern flatearthers believe the _south pole_ is the real centre. I can explain it with magnets… but apparently Trump does not understand electromagnetic forces, specifically as applied to aircraft carrier launch systems. So. Maybe not. ---

It goes even deeper than that, man! _They’re the same pole._ Australia is actually hidden just off the west coast of Canada, but they faked the map to make you think it’s in the “Southern Hemisphere”. ---

Everyone knows there’s no such thing as gravity. What makes things fall and keeps us from floating away you ask? The Earth sucks. ---
