\"\"I’m not the smartest guy in the world, but I’m no dummy either. I have spent most of my engineering career surrounded by other engineers, Naval Aviators, and scientists in the world of military aviation and space technology. Based on that, I feel that I have a fairly accurate baseline for what “smart” is – or at least, what I consider it to be. I’m generally try to NOT beat people up about their stupidity, but sometimes, this can be a challenge, especially since I’m a comedian – enter Flat Earthers. Flat Earthers may be among the dumbest and most comedically interesting people on the planet, with sovereign citizens nipping at their heels. I will admit that there are a few conspiracies that I’m on board with. If we’re talking about the assassination of JFK, 9\/11, Roswell and UFO’s, I’m all in. Flat Earth? Nope!<\/p>\n

The flat Earth conspiracy revolves around the accusation that we have been purposely lied to about the flat Earth, and apparently there are millions of people in on it – maybe even your mom. This conspiracy goes back to a time before Jesus. I blame Pythagoras – he was a really smart Greek philosopher guy. It was around 500 BC that Pythagoras first suggested that the Earth was a sphere. Then, in 240 BC, another really smart Greek guy, Eratosthenes, actually figured out how to figure out how to measure the Earth around the equator and created the lat\/lon system that GPS is based on. Dude – this conspiracy runs deep.<\/p>\n

WHY? OH WHY?? Of all the Krap “THEY” lie to us about, why oh why would “THEY’ lie to us about the flat Earth? Lied to us about JFK – I understand that. I don’t think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone either. They lied to you about 9\/11, I get that too. Terrorism is good for the military-industrial complex, we need a footprint in the Middle East, bla bla bla.\u00a0 UFO’s? Even the military now admits they are real. No one will ever know the extent of involvement of the JFK or 9\/11 conspiracies. Not gonna happen. They can release all the Freedom of Information Krap they want and we STILL will never know. Deal with it and enjoy THOSE conspiracies.<\/p>\n

The shape of the Earth is easily provable. BUT, and this is a big but. In order to prove that the Earth is a sphere, you have put your faith in all those stupid conspiracy scientists. My proof, listed below, is the evidence. As much as these people bother me, I can’t get enough of them. I’m like a Flat Earther crack-head<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. They’re like a three-legged dog and I can’t look away. It’s like a moth that is drawn to fire and I’m the moth. I won’t go into a long diatribe on how deluded these people are because I could fish out of that pond for months, so I’m going to be like FoxNews and just report, you can decide. Here are some of the main tenets of the Flat Earth delusion. And<\/em><\/strong>, I didn’t make ANY<\/strong> of this Krap up.<\/p>\n
