"1. What is the Earth's shape? The Earth is flat. It is shaped in the form of a pentagon, and thus has five corners. 2. What is the "middle corner"? If one was to draw a line from each corner to the centre of the opposing side of the Earth, the line would intersect in the middle of the Flat Earth. This place is known as the Middle Corner. 3. Hey, wait a minute, that is not a real corner... So? The equator of the spherical earthers is an imaginary line as well. Does this mean that their model does not have a northern and a southern hemisphere? You cannot count in imaginary numbers, but does that mean that they do not exist? 4. What about the northern and southern hemisphere? Globularist rot. This implies the Earth being a SPHERE, which it is not. The Earth has, however, an Inner and Outer Ring. 5. What is Platygæanism? Platygæanism is the scientific hypothesis which holds that the Earth is flat or planar in topology. 5. Does the "middle corner" prove that 5=6? Yes. 6. How are continents located on the Flat Earth. Generally, the "southernmost" continents are on the outside, whereas the "northern" ones are on the inside. 7. Does this mean that the Middle Corner is at the North Pole? Not necessarily. It may be anywhere in the northern part of the Earth. 8. What is, then, at the south pole? The Edge of the World. It is surrounded, at least in places, by a huge mountain range. 9. Where are the corners of the Earth? Opinion is still divided on this issue. Conventional wisdom places the five corners at the following locations:
* Corner 1: the northernmost extent of Lake Mikhayl in Tunguska, Siberia * Corner 2: Greenland or Iceland (Ultima Thule); though some researchers place it at Brimstone Head, on Fogo Island, Newfoundland, Canada. * Corner 3: Easter Island. * Corner 4: Uncertain; possibly Hokkaido (Japan), Lhasa (Nepal), or a desolate location in Outer Mongolia. * Corner 5: Somewhere near the south of Tasmania or New Zealand, though some researchers have suggested somewhere in the vicinity of the South Pacific island of Ponape.
9. How long is the edge of the Earth? The edge of the Earth is infinitely long. 10. Does this mean that the Earth has infinite area? No, no more than England does. See Benoit Mandelbrot for more information. 11. Does this fit in with the Hollow Earth theory? Yes. Beneath the Earth, or hanging off the edges, is a land populated by either green-skinned women or Nazis. All those claiming to have seen this have misinterpreted it to fit in with the spurious and false Spherical Earth theory. 12. Did H. P. Lovecraft know about the Flat Earth? Yes. Read At the Mountains of Madness. The choice of the South Pole by the Old Ones makes more sense with the Flat Earth Theory. 13. What about gravity? Gravity is a lie invented by the purveyors of the inherently false spherical Earth theory. The theory of gravity has never been proven. There is no gravity, only inertia. The Earth moves through space like a giant elevator. We do not fall off because we are kept down by inertia. The Earth has inertia. There is a school of thought which states, however, that the Earth does not move through space, but rather that it rests on the back of a giant turtle, and that what we call gravity is, in fact, the turtle's animal magnetism. 14. What about photographs of the Earth from the moon? Most of these are fake. It is well known that the "moon landing" was faked. The film of what is claimed to be the moon was taken in the desert in the US state of Arizona. There exist some genuine photographs from high altitudes, which appear to the untrained eye to show a spherical Earth. The reason for this effect is that the Earth's atmosphere becomes denser the further one ascends, after thinning out at about 5 miles. This causes light to be refracted more at high altitudes, giving the appearance of a spherical Earth. The reason the atmosphere becomes denser is the increased pressure. If not for this extreme pressure, the sun, and all stars, would not be able to hold together but would gradually dissipate in accordance with the gas laws, and Brownian motion (see any basic school physics text). Further proof that there is atmosphere all the way between the earth and the sun, moon, etc, is that heat from the sun warms the earth. Heat cannot travel through a vacuum, as anyone who has ever used a vacuum flask knows. Real astronauts would need pressure suits to protect them from the incredibly high pressures they would encounter. 15. How does the Earth move through space? There are two schools of thought: one which states that the Earth is constantly moving in a straight line, and the other which states that the Earth is moving in a toroidal shape. There is a popular opinion which states that the Earth does not move as such, but rather that space moves around the Earth. 16. Can ships be 'lost' at the edge of the Earth? Yes, at least in places where there are no mountains preventing this from occurring. The edge of the Earth is, in places a tremendous waterfall, and anything going over the edge will disappear into the aether. This can also happen to aircraft which fly off the edge. 17. If large amounts of water disappear off the edge, where does all the water come from? This is an argument for the theory that the Earth has a toroidal orbit. In a toroidal orbit, all the water which disappears off the edges falls back to Earth as rain when the Earth revolves about its orbit. This also means that the inhabitants of ships and aircraft lost in space will, in some occasions, return to Earth. 18. Does this explain Fortean phenomena, such as frog-falls? Perhaps. One is tempted to believe that the frogs, fish and other beings are somehow expelled into space off the edge of the Earth. However, this conflicts with the long-established Mad Fishmonger theory, which states that showers of fish are the work of a deranged fishmonger and his cohorts. (See The Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson for more details.) 19. What is the "Springfield Effect"? The Springfield Effect is the name given to the phenomenon by which every place named Springfield is hard-linked in hyperspace to every other place of this name. In other words, there is only one place named Springfield, but it is "linked" to various locations in the world. 20. Does Idaho exist No. The existence of Idaho is a lie, fabricated by a conspiracy of cartographers, as is England (see question 10). 21. What about North Dakota? That doesn't exist either. 22. Any other places which are believed to exist but really don't? Yes, Australia. And then there are the cryptogeographica, places such as Kadath, Carcosa, Hobbiton, Narnia, Hy-Brasil, Hell and such whose existence has not been satisfactorily proven."
even worse, FELFAT:
"The Flat Earth Liberation Front Against Television (FELFAT) is an organization determined to fight the evil that has spoiled this once-great world, and to bring humanity back to the ancient utopian state which it deserves.
FELFAT does not believe that the Earth is flat. We acknowledge the overwhelming circumstancial evidence that the Earth is currently round. (Actually, we believe the earth to be a perfect sphere unlike many spherists, who believe that the earth is oddly shaped, mostly spherical, but with a bulge around the equator and flattened poles. The is obviously silly. On the other hand, we believe that there must be large-scale structural anomolies left over from the spherization process in the lithosphere. And of course, we believe the mantle and core o be completely synthetic fabrications of modern industrial society.)
FELFAT however, holds the position that the Earth was formerly, and is naturally, entirely FLAT (and most likely unbounded). The earth was originally designed to be flat, and all aspects and features of this planet are properly understood only within the context of an entirely flat earth.
The original flat earth was confined, restricted, and twisted into a perverse spherical shape by a conspiracy of TELEVISION BROADCASTERS in an attempt to realize their dream of TOTAL HUMAN MIND CONTROL through subsurviant captive homogonized market share.
Before the Earth was enspherized, people could escape television broadcast beams by direct linear travel. This is no longer the case, as television broadcast transmissions encircle the finite globe. The goal was not spherization, but limitation. The most obvious solution, to cut off the remainder of the planet beyond a small fixed inner area, giving a flat, bounded earth with the traditional falling-off-the-edge-of-the-world, would have been too obvious, and would have left too much evidence of the deed.
Instead they cut out that same fixed inner area, then wrapped it up into a sphere, and destroyed historical evidence of the flat unbounded earth.
The big question of course is how they managed to spherize the Earth. There is some speculation that they somehow managed to tinker with some of the cosmological constants that define our particular universe in such a way as to redefine the world's stable state from flat to spherical. There has been much speculation regarding the destabalizing of the value of PI: on the surface of the earth, treated as a 2d positively curved non-euclidean plane, the value of PI is a function of the size of your circle, rather than a constant. (For example: a very small circle on the surface of the Earth has a value of PI approaching the traditional euclidean-space value, but if you start at the North pole, and enlarge your circle untill it is equivalent to the equator, you can easily see that the value of PI for that circle is exactly 2.) It is not currently understood how one would degenerate the value of PI so as to destabalize a flat plane, but it is a field of intense research.
There is also much biblical evidence that the world is supposed to be flat.
FELFAT is working towards the glorious return to a FLAT EARTH by means of Operation Dateline Dig . We are happy to announce the successfull completion of the First Expedition to initiate Operation Dateline Dig. Things are really moving along, at last! "

Thats and I can prove it. I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who claims to know someone who claims to have talked to someone who claims to have seen North Dakota

How do you think I found it?!

Then your neighbor's an idiot. Or very gullible. They could probably get away with claiming North Dakota doesn't exist though... Nobody in their right mind drives through there on purpose.
