JAE,
You're still wrong. It's an oblate solid ellipsoid.

[Black Phoenix]

SW, you mean a geoid?

 

[JAE]

Aw.
That's the problem with being a smart-ass. There's always someone smarter-asser than you.

There's always someone smarter-asser than you.

I'm up for that game! Who's to say that geoids aren't flat?

A.

Here's some worrisome survey results

Hm. A British survey of British utes...the same crew that likely comprised the majority of online votes for "Boaty McBoatface"?

I do also like the further commentary in that link, which shows that income correlates negatively to dis-belief in 3d globule-shaped earth forms. I think (well, want to believe) the causation is likely the opposite (belief in wacko theories reduces your income earning potential); I would certainly add it to a possible list of interview questions.

 

JAE,
You're still wrong. It's an oblate solid ellipsoid.

Wrong again. It has a crunchy outside with a runny middle.
Would probably make a tasty snack for certain planet-consuming entities out there (and they ARE out there).

So does the Vogon see the earth as a nice flat cookie? Or a juicy pear?

Actually they saw the Earth as unwanted detritus that had be removed as part of an 'infrastructure' project.

You mean like a hyper bypass perhaps? The plans have been on display for the past 50 years.

Maybe the Dr. will save us again.

That is a lot of work when a weather balloon and cellphone will get you video of the earth at 100,000 ft. A plane ticket will get him further in his scientific studies than his silly rocket.

I am though impressed with anyone building anything that launches him or her 2,000 ft into the air and doesn't kill them.

Especially sitting next to a pressure vessel of unknown design or strength....

Surely though the moon (our moon) should be a vertical disc because we can see it going round??

Otherwise quite amusing.

I initially thought the same thing, LI... but then I realized the moon goes overhead, so it must move from below the Earth-disc to above the Earth-disc, not around the circumference.
