OBVIOUSLY you haven't given this enough thought. You have been
brainwashed by those nutty round-earthers! The earth truely _is_ flat, it
is just that it has TWO SIDES!!!! While I see day (night) I am on the 'top'
and my telephone friend who sees night (day) is CLEARLY on the other side.
Hmmm . . . ever wonder why those photos from the shuttle only can show
one side at a time? The illusion, from space, that the earth is round come from
the little recognized fact that, while truely flat, the earth is dish-shaped!
Thou fool! How is it that thou seest but canst believe. Surely they shall hear
and see the truth, but shall not perceive!!
