In the last month, two people have come out and said the Earth is flat. Tila Tequila, and B.o.B. How can grown-ass people believe this? Especially since they both fly around the world (...AROUND...).

Is this some drug-induced hallucination, or are we on the road to people starting to believe this because someone famous said so, just like the whole anti-vac BS?

Something tells me, they might need a "safe space"

People believe all sorts of retarded garbage, even in this day and age. Even in the developed world where they have access to high quality education, books and the internet.

Flat Earth is probably one of the dumbest since you can literally see that you're wrong without much trouble.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I'm looking out my window now and it looks totally flat. That's all the proof I need.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I've been hearing that this "theory" is gaining traction.

I absolutely cannot believe it.

I truly can't believe that neither has flown in an airplane.

They can't be in a airplane because airplanes are also flat.

The Earth may be round, but apparently the universe is flat.

Also, there is a website dedicated to promoting the flat earth idea. The forum has some pretty ridiculous discussions. I get the feeling that flat earthers are just trolling us.

A lot of it is the Sub Genius folks having a laugh, it's gold to them.

There's a J.R. B.o.B. Dobbs joke in there somewhere.
