I see that LSU education served Shaq well.
Flat chests believe this must prove flat earth?
The NBA player also believes his basketball is flat.
If the earth was flat on a clear day you could see the Rocky Mountains from the East coast. If those other Mountains weren’t in the way. Damn it!
Pretty soon it will be rasiss to believe in a spherical earth.
Same people probably mocked “I can see Russia from my house”.
Proving Kansas is flat would be pretty easy. What I don’t understand is how can easy be pretty? If it’s difficult is easy ugly? Sometimes my mind wonders. Then sometimes it wanders while it’s wondering. I give up.
Mindlessness equal to man-caused global warming.
Impossible! Any one knows this counteracts the HOLLOW EARTH theory! That is where the flying saucers come from!
The age of shameless fools.
Or how Magellan could sail all the way around????
Or a lot of things. They think the sun is only a few thousand miles high. But then why does it always have the same angular diameter of about half a degree, no matter where it is in the sky? They have no explanation.
The “Flat Earth theory” myth refuted:De mensura Orbis terrae(You wouldn’t expect an ancient text describing the determination of the earth’s diameter to be in English, would you?)
I kept my old Dynamic Astronomy text book:
“It is thought that Pythagoras (582-507 B.C.) was the first to reconize the shape of the earth as spherical. A ship appears to “sink” into the water as it sails away from an observer and to “rise” from the water as it sails toward an observer, indicating the curvature of the earth’s surface. Pythagoras may also have noticed that during a lunar eclipse, as the moon passes into the earth’s shadow, the curvature of the edge of that shadow is suggestive of the curved nature of the earth itself.”
Willing to bet that not many home schoolers believe in a flat earth.
That is hilarious.
Its like the same difference. If its different, how can it be the same? (Except perhaps,in a math problem... 5 = 10-5 = 20-15, but that is math.)
Some parts of Kansas are not particularly flat. It has rolling hills until you pass the flint hills. There are parts in the south and center that are Pretty Flat. The whole state tilts up toward Colorado so we are more of a sloping incline containing wheat, cows, oil, salt, helium, and Kansans.
I drove from Texas to Colorado via Kansas. They call Denver the mile high city. I guess that makes the western border of Kansas three quarters of a mile high.
Mt. Sunflower is the highest point in the state, not far from the Colorado line. It is 4039 feet over sea level. I sit not far from the Missouri Border at 1005 feet. So it goes up about 3000 feet from were I live to the “Summit” of “Mt” Sunflower.
If anyone wants to climb a mountain on wheelchair or crutches, western Kansas has your mountain.

“Its 1/2 mile from the base of the hill to the top. There is a summit register.”
If your wheelchair or crutches do not do well on dirt and gravel, you can just drive your car right up to the summit. (And yes, Mt Sunflower looks much safer and more interesting than Panorama point in Nebraska at 5424 Feet above Sea level. (Buffalo wandering about loose.))
You just can't argue with nutters like that.
If so, where can I get it?
