Flat earth clowns!

I think there was another group that was tongue-in-cheek, but the group linked to earlier in this thread is the continuation of Charles K. Johnson’s efforts, and as serious as a broken vertebra.

Nah, if you’re going to stick your dick in the crazy, you’ve already made the decision to cross that boundary. I say go all out, if sex with lame-crazy is good, then sex with psycho-crazy is gonna be out-this-world. :cool: Just be braced for the fallout. :eek:

The fat black chick who was on The View actually thought so! She probably makes more in a week than most of us do in a year and yet she’s never seen a globe…

I still want to join. That would really spice up the ol’ resume.

Depends on what you’re using it for. That’s why flattening the Earth is such a good idea. Only one literal diagrammatic projection would be necessary.

Yeah, but who gets to be in the center and who ends up on the edge?

Whoever contributes the highest in the Kickstarter.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Note that The Bible officially declares several times the flatness of the Earth (Matthew 4:8, etc.) and that the Sun, Moon, etc. all go around it.

The original Flat Earth Society was founded on this. In later years, it got a lot of “members” who signed up for the fun of having the membership certificate for their wall. It went moribund, got revived thanx to the Internet, etc. Who knows what percentage believe what now.

It is incredibly easy to show that it can’t be. E.g. make a phone call to someone on the opposite side of the globe and compare day/night.

But these … people … have thought of that. They have an incredible “system” for explaining all the oddities of the position of the Sun wrt a flat Earth. Their concept of Optics is strange and then some.

Sometimes someone will show up here pointing out some oooolld, badly done “experiment” that disproves the curvature of the Earth. It’s hopeless arguing with these folk.

Just think of how weird GPS would be for a flat Earth, alone.

Charles Johnson made a phone call to someone in New York, when the Moon was directly overhead in Los Angeles. The friend measured the angle. 45 degrees. Therefore (simple geometry for simple minds) the Moon is only 3,000 miles above the earth.

It’s Science! Not the fake greaseball Greek thing!

Johnson was so wonderfully emphatic.

(In contrast, I had some real respect for Harold Camping, who had the grace to say, “I don’t know” now and then.)

Remember the Flat Earth Slogan:

There is Nothing to Sphere but Sphere Itself!

You mean flat earth society isn’t an organization for professional women’s volleyball players?

Um, member 00001 is the totally serious, not the least bit whimsical Thomas Dolby.

You haven’t seen Dolby’s wife. Today: http://cache3.asset-cache.net/gc/462154442-actress-kathleen-beller-at-the-hollywood-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=GkZZ8bf5zL1ZiijUmxa7QbzRbDCuD01EnoxffnizH%2BWwJHHrZACNWPfAhGosdoaKuRbNic%2FWZQ3aOnDPjG%2FfdQ%3D%3D

Back in the day, totally not the least bit safe for work: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7vyKzCrpkPY/Ucmira-RutI/AAAAAAAAY2o/jk_C1VWUDME/s640/KathleenBeller_TheBetsy_RW5_nitrovideo+-+Copy.jpg

Which part or version of Matthew 4 8 do you believe “officially” declares this?

She’s not flat.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to look up a single Bible verse.

Anyway, it’s the bit where the Devil takes Jesus to a high tower, from which he can see all the nations of the earth. Not possible on a globe.

Okay, now I really want to sign up. (Although that first link is blocked.)

Google Kathleen Beller. Late fifties, but took care of herself.
