Fair enough, had I thought about more I would have posted in here, just sorta defaulted to General:smack:
I just joined will fill everyone in when I get my membership. You might note the Thomas Dolby is member #1, “she blinded me with science”
mundus = world = earth, so MPIMS works out pretty well.
As a member of both the Flat Earth Society and the Ancient and Honorable Order of Turtles, I believe in a flat Earth and turtles all the way down. It’s more fun that way.
Really? That a hoot.
Don’t forget about the elephants.
You don’t need to rely on authority or conduct experiments.
You can observe for yourself quite easily that the earth is round.
Just wait for the next lunar eclipse. The earth’s shadow is markedly curved.
Any “theory” that attempts to explain this another way is so much hand-waving.
Even those who live rimwards of Ankh-Morpork know the world is round.
The flat earth is disc-shaped, and can cast circular shadows. At least from some angles.
Reminds me of the Man Will Never Fly Memorial Society. Many of the members are pilots.
*Hear ther truth our tongues are telling!
Spread ther light from shore to shore:
God hath given Man a dwelling
Flat and flat for evermore!
When from Earth ther floods retreated,
When ther deeps were undesigned,
He with rule and level meted
Habitation for mankind!
Hear ther truth our tongues are telling!
Spread ther light from shore to shore:
O be faithful! O be truthful!
Earth is flat for evermore!
