I posted this in the suicide thread, but this probably deserves some attention all its own.

http://www.flat-earth.org/

The FAQs are the best read 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.

I KNEW IT! :P

Haha. I'll let Nick handle this one:

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.


:lol:

The purpose of the Mars Project is to create and deploy fossils and/or ruins suggesting the prior existence of life and/or civilisation on the surface of Mars.

Who? Why? I love the info on that page because they make insane statements as if everyone will immediately understand.

"The sky is blue." :)
"England doesn't exist." :shock:

or something very similar.

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.


Who is this "Newton" guy anyway?

thanks for that. i needed a healthy dose of insanity today. the part i love is that they make all these rediculous claims, without a shred of scientific proof to back it up.

this excerpt taken from THE FLAT EARTH LIBERATION FRONT AGAINST TELEVISION (FELFAT):

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.
