3: is it only the earth which is flat or is the sun flat too? What about all the other planets?

There's 3 questions for starters I could come up with many more ........

I'm keen to know, given mapping a flat Earth on to a 2-d surface is trivial, which map projection is the right one. Mercator, Gall-Peters, Eckert IV?

Good God even a Jock thinks this argument is a scam and they're still neanderthals

On the flat screen of my PC,on official websites of both clubs,the word LOAN was noticeable and irrefutable proof that young Mr Haggarty is on loan and therefore not a reject.St Helens have prepared to have him return - a bit like a Mr Taylor was on loan for the campaign just ended and he got himself voted player of the year.

Greetings from planet positive.

Don't mind this guy, he thinks the earth is flat, so I wouldn't put much credence into him using sound logic and reasoning.

Having married a Jock I take offence at that remark, and so does my wife. At least I think that's what she said through her thick ginger beard.

You let her have an opinion? You're too kind are kyd, most Jock females just cook deep fried Mars Bars and raise free range Sporons!

It must be amazing to think that every single star and planet is facing us at the exact angle to show the face of a disk. Let's not worry about observing shadows on the sphere of planets with a telescope... I've blocked the turd, but hopefully he can disprove this... Clicky

She's rounding-up the Haggis as we speak for their seasonal culling, and it's deep-fried heroin for tea tomorrow...

Good old off-season.
