    We may never know

    As the title says, we may never know if the earth is really flat Give the man credit though, he gave his life for some thing he believed in

    It is flat. I am looking out of the door & all I can see is Flat. Is there some doubt about this?


    It would have been the weight of the Water tank & boiler & fuel that brought him to grief. In 5000' he wouldn't even have stood a chance to stoke up the fire once. Toss in a partner named Waldo, it was doomed from the start.

    Waldo? Didn't J. Quincey Magoo have a sidekick called Waldo? The more things change the more they stay the same.....

    If, in fact, it isn't flat, then I hope Pratchett was right, and there is indeed a circumfence, or we'll all fall off.

    Am always concerned living here just off the coast of Europe that if the world is flat the edge of the world is somewhere around here. Just have to hope the guard rails are good enough to keep everyone from falling off the edge. Face it if the world was not flat Christopher Columbus would have reached his intended destination of India.

    I'm glad it is flat, it makes it sooooo much easier to put the Rubbish Bin out each week.
