The Shape of Things Too Dumb : Shaquille O'Neal declares the Earth to be flat
Hey Shaq... If the world is flat, what keeps the water in the oceans? If nothing, where does it go and where does it come from?

If we know every other planet in the universe that we've found is a sphere, why are we special?

Do you think the astronauts that have orbited the Earth (a sphere) were just lying??

I don't know, it sure looks round to me.



But then again, it could be another one of those vast right wing conspiracies. Maybe I should just defer to PHD O'Neal on this one. Wink

It is because your eyeballs are round.
The flat view of the earth apears round when it is projected on the curved surface of your retina, and the abberation from the edge distortion of your eye's lens.

And you spray chemtrails, so we already know you lie.

Ive been sick and the wife has had a rough week at work, so this is providing us much relief and great entertainment this morning via text.

Oh...I got a GREAT chemtrail story...!

Wait...more thinking on my part....

So, when I fly from JFK to LAX and utilize the Great Circle route and associated distance, is this just some kind of scam thats been programmed into the ADIRUs?

The Earth is neither flat nor round. The Earth exists only as a simulated reality inside a super-duper computer, per Elon Musk, the smartest man in the simulation. Or as the dreams of Vishnu, the sleeping god. Or merely, as Plato described, the shadow cast on the wall of a cave by a more transcendent reality. Etc, etc.

With so many philosophies and religions throughout history teaching that the world is not real, isn't it a bit presumptuous to believe that the single theory saying reality is real, is really correct. I mean, come on, really?
