This has nothing to do with the Earth being flat, but mentions a shape. And is hilarious.

Oh man, I've seen that before.  That site is the best thing ever.

Have you ever seen the Something Awful parody of it?

have you not seen God on Monty Python's meaning of life? He clearly wanted it to be a cube.

The Learning Triangle? Yes, it's one of the funniest works they've ever done. Absolute brilliance.

Back to a flat Earth, I found a delicious link on the Flat Earth Society (the real one, not those parodies).

Kansas is actually "flatter" than a pancake.

That's literally true, LOL. There was a study done on it. In response to the poll, no.

I voted yes, just to be a wiseass.  I actually believe the earth is round, revolves around the sun, and has one satellite called the moon.

It is the third planet in the solar solar system, and there are 9 total planets known at this time.  The planets are, in order, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.

There is also an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Aren't you impressed?  Smiley

I think the Earth is non-Euclidean, which might explain why my Congressional District includes Darby Borough.  :-)

No, the earth is not entirely flat, though my part of it is reasonably so.

I was hoping someone who really did think the earth was flat had voted and would care to explain his opinions. Sad

Though it's still curved enough to have a horizon. Wink

If you consider something resembling a sphere flate then YES! IF not then no.
