The Mind Boggles

""The facts are simple," says Charles K. Johnson, president of the
International Flat Earth Research Society. "The earth is flat...
Wherever you find people with a great reservoir of common sense... they
don't believe idiotic things such as the earth spinning around the sun.
Reasonable, intelligent people have always recognized that the earth is
flat...



It's the Church of England that's taught that the world is a ball...
George Washington, on the other hand, was a flat-earther. He broke with
England to get away from those superstitions... Uncle Joe (Stalin),
Churchill, and Roosevelt laid the master plan to bring in the New Age
under the United Nations. The world ruling power was to be right here
in this country.



After the war, the world would be declared flat and Roosevelt would be
elected first president of the world. When the UN Charter was drafted
in San Francisco, they took the flat-earth map as their symbol."

    Really, read the full article. Personally I would love to get hold of a model of this cosmology with its little Moon and Sun, the Dark Moon and the Ice Wall at the edge of the world, it all seems such ripe fodder for a story.

    Seeing as they are the Flat Earth Research Society I would love to see some answers to Brain_In_A_Jar's question too - what do they think is on the other side of the flat earth? I have a great deal of trouble believing people really do think such a thing is true but they do seem sincere... and one thing I think the article does well is convey the feeling of 'the Earth is really flat'.

I can't even tell anymore. I think they mean it.
