Flat Earth Society

[Garp]

I always thought this was a bit of a joke, or the odd fringe person, but it turns out its real, and there are a surprising number of people who believe in it along with some interesting conspiracy theories that are essential to support their view.

Q: "What's underneath the Earth?" aka "What's on the bottom?" aka "What's on the other side?"

A: This is unknown. Some believe it to be just rocks, others believe the Earth rests on the back of four elephants and a turtle.

Q: "Why doesn't water run off the Earth?"

A: There is a vast ice wall that keeps the water where it is. The ice wall is roughly 150ft high. This also explains why you can find a vast plane of ice when you travel south.

Antarctica as a continent does not exist.

Judging by one of those answers, it's clear someone has spent far too long reading Discworld stuffs.

Indeed.

Given all the conspiracy theories I thought I'd better get a tinfoil hat but it turns out they're no good:
