The irony is maps and globes lie all the time...
There is a conspiracy of cartographers... Evidence actually suggests that the Earth isn't a perfect sphere, it's actually slightly egg shaped, due to the gravitational pull of both the moon and the sun - we don't move in a circle around the sun it's actually an elipse. Can anyone spot the huuuge lie on this map? World Political Map

I just wonder if the founders started this whole thing on a dare, like L Ron Hubbard, or if they really are that deluded.

I have a friend named Will. He's a brilliant guy - working on a Ph.D. as Baylor University. Will was once in a debate class in high school and he was assigned to defend the theory that the earth is flat.
He had no idea what to do, so he searched the internet and found The Flat Earth Society. He called them to get fodder for his debate... and in order to get their newsletter, he had to pay to join and so he was a member for a year. They even have their own crazy map of the earth. It's a crazy organization. |

That was going to be my comment as well. So far, it's been the US and USSR. I believe China may be working towards that goal as well sometime in the future. It's not like it's an easy thing to do. You need to spend the time, money, and research which is incredibly high to get to that level. Other countries probably could, but they choose to spend it on other things like nuclear technology.

There have been, I believe, 6 manned moon landings performed by the U.S. and 12 Americans have walked on the surface. They collected data including rocks and dust. All of them are documented.

It's a massive lie. Take a look at Great Britain. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and hazzard a guess as to why?

Hell, even ancient mariners understood the earth was not flat, hundreds of years before the Scientific Revolution. An astute observer knows that the last thing you see when a ship sails out to sea is its mast as it descends over the curvature of the earth.

The Earth isn't flat or spherical, it's cube shaped.
Oh wait, that's Bizzarro Earth. |
