Of course the Earth is flat.
If it were round, we'd all roll off the sides.

(Seriously, there was one platygaeanist [flat-Earther] I read the ramblings of
some years back who claimed that the Earth was flat but SPACE in the vicinity
of Earth was so severely curved that it made the Earth appear spherical,
so that going around the world was actually an act of circumnavigating the
universe! I think he got slashed on Occam's Razor pretty badly....)
