    I found this one very interesting.

    Q: "If you go directly south won't you eventually fall off the edge of the Earth?"

    A: Yes, you will. In order to use this fact as proof you need to record a video of someone flying directly south around the world without falling off the edge. Furthermore you need to prove that your navigational equipment allows you to travel directly south without deviating.

    I'm a little curious, how can one be travelling directly south, and also going AROUND the world?

    ROFL scrolled down a bit to read somemore.

    Space Exploration and Government


    Q: "NASA and other world space agencies have pictures of the Earth from space, and in those pictures the Earth is clearly a globe; in this day and age, hasn't it been proven beyond any doubt that the Earth is round?"

    A: NASA and the rest of the world's space agencies who claim to have been to space are involved in a Conspiracy to keep the shape of the Earth hidden. The pictures are faked using simple imaging software.

    Q: "Are you saying NASA had Photoshop in the 1960s?"

    A: Of course not. Back then the pictures taken were of far lower quality and were likely produced using analog means.

    Q: "Why has no one taken a photo of the Earth that proves it is flat?"

    A: Only those connected to the Conspiracy have access to heights from which the shape of the Earth can be discerned. Also, nobody has been to the edge of the Earth and lived; conditions on the Ice Wall get increasingly treacherous the further you get out, and navigation methods become unreliable that far south. It is also possible that the Conspiracy is guarding the edge to prevent people from getting too close to the truth.

    Q: "How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?"

    A: NASA did not send rockets into space; instead, they spent a fraction of their funding on developing increasingly advanced computers and imaging software to cover their lies.

    PLEASE NOTE: This means that pictures confirming the roundness or flatness of the Earth DO NOT CONSTITUTE VALID PROOF.

    Q: "What is the motive behind this Conspiracy?"

    A: Although their main objective can only be speculated upon, the most favored theory is that of financial gain. In a nutshell, it would logically cost much less to fake a space program than to actually have one, so those in on the Conspiracy profit from the funding NASA and other space agencies receive from the government.

    Q: "If you're not sure about the motive, why do you say there is a conspiracy?"

    A: Well it's quite simple really; if the Earth is in fact flat, then the space agencies must be lying when they say it isn't.

    Q: "No one could possibly pull off such a conspiracy successfully."

    A: Actually, they could.

    Q: "How are the world governments organized to carry out this conspiracy?"

    A: Only those governments with space agencies that have actually been to space and produced round pictures of the Earth need be in on the Conspiracy. And even in those cases only a limited number of people within those governments need necessarily be involved. For the most part, even those in the highest positions of these governments are probably unaware of the Conspiracy.

    Q: "Why has this site not been shut down by the government?"

    A: Not enough people take this site seriously for it to be perceived as a threat by those involved in the Conspiracy. Shutting it down, however, might open them up to suspicion.

    Q: "There's no way the government could possibly guard the entire Ice Wall! It would take too many men! Millions of men!"

    A: Not really. You could do it with a few hundred men and some basic equipment. But even so there's no reason to assume the Ice Wall is guarded; the harsh conditions of the region make it very difficult to reach anyway.

    Q: "Why is NASA's space shuttle runway curved?"

    A: It was specially constructed by NASA to be so. After all, NASA is at the heart of the conspiracy.

    What if I believe the world is a torus, like Evony and most other RPG video game worlds?

    How is Evony in the shape of a torus?

    A torus is what you get when a flat-represented map is wrapped so that the north edge meets the south edge, and the west edge meets the east edge.


    That kind old lady stopped the rain for us.
    She said it would only make us cold, and miserable, and sick.
    We thanked her and hugged her and she walked away smiling warmly.
    I miss the puddles...

    Silly me! I thought it was a car. hehe

    On another note Instead of flying South, I propose we put all the nuclear waste in a convoy of trucks and drive South. Push them over the edge and problem solved.

    After the word "facts" is a good place for that question mark. I did see lots of statements though.
