It is now time that you were informed a massive conspiracy theory.  From the time you were very young, you have been told that the earth is round, blah, blah, blah.  Yeah, right.  It’s time to get it right people!  Humans have known for hundreds of years before the last half millennium, THE EARTH IS FLAT!

Well, how do you KNOW the earth is round?

Have YOU ever flown around it?  Have YOU ever sailed around it?  And, even if you have flown or sailed around it, how do you know you didn’t just go in a really big circle?  And, if you were at the controls so you KNOW by the controls that you went around the earth, just remember that those controls were designed by people who want you to believe that the earth is round.

How DO you know the earth is round?  Because the earth rotates and revolves around the sun?  No, sorry, the earth is flat and stationary, and the sun moves around it – just watch the sky every day, and you will see the sun rising at one side of the flat earth and setting on the other side.  Or do you know the earth is flat because it is cold at the poles and warm at the equator?  No, on a flat earth, it is just colder and warmer in some places.

Or maybe you can say that we can see that it is round from space.  Next thing you will be telling me that humans have actually been on the moon, lol.  Oh, but you have seen the photographs of a round earth from space. Well, I have news for you -  don’t believe everything you see in photographs.

Ever wondered where Swiss Army knives come from?

I am sure you heard of house-hippos.

Okay, when it all comes down to it, I don’t really believe in a flat earth, but I use this argument every year in class to teach my students not to blindly believe what they are told, but to evaluate the evidence for themselves and/or the credentials of the people providing the evidence.  (So, if the earth isn't flat...?)
