    I have very sensitive antennae when it comes to flat earth bullshit and also started to develop an allergy to non-science. So I beg your pardon that I asked…

      Well you aren’t the only one, so maybe I should have laid the sarcasm on more clearly. I thought most people would read the title as tongue-in-cheek.

            Oh yeah, they use loony toons maths to explain certain aspect of reality while a globe earth would explain it all at the same time.
