You have been brainwashed by those nutty round-earthers! The earth truely _is_ flat, it is just that it has TWO SIDES!!!! While I see day (night) I am on the 'top' and my telephone friend who sees night (day) is CLEARLY on the other side. Hmmm . . . ever wonder why those photos from the shuttle only can show one side at a time? The illusion, from space, that the earth is round come from the little recognized fact that, while truely flat, the earth is dish-shaped! Thou fool! How is it that thou seest but canst believe. Surely they shall hear and see the truth, but shall not perceive!! jarrod (tongue in cheek)
