The Earth Is Flat

[selkiedarre]

Is anyone familiar with "Flat Earthers"? - they are a community of people who believe the Earth is in fact flat.
I had no idea there was a modern, and very much alive and kicking, following of the theory until just recently.
I first read comments by one woman the other day on a facebook planetary page. The topic was the moon landing, and at first she just exclaimed that there was never a moon landing. I didn't think much of that as its quite obviously controversial.
However she went on to say that the earth is flat and continued a long stream with claims (although didn't directly answer any legitimate questions). At first I thought she was spamming, but there were a few others supporting her claims.
Anyway, after going to her facebook where all her posts are public, it seems she certainly believes in her claims.. which don't end there.
She speaks of NASA staging everything (and that there is actually no such thing as "space").. even fake the moon in our sky (HOLY BATMAN ROBIN!.. God knows how!), that the recent eclipse is dodgy based on the visual shadow covering the moon from the wrong direction, that there is undiscovered land on this flat earth, and my personal favourite - that the curvature of the earth you can see from some points on earth is the effect made from the vanishing point "where all you can focus on blurs together" (huh??).
