Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	OK, well, here is my theory, in the absence of any other. I think the world is round - as in a globe shape. Because when I go out of my body on one of my astral projection trips, I can see that it is round. :-)

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	Is that the David Niven - the well known astrophysicist and adviser to NASA? Or the one who played the loveable cad in many humorous films? Or was that Terry Thomas....? So many questions, so few answers......

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	Well done, Kitty! Excellent. So David Niven (the thespian) was a believer in the flat earth theory, eh! Fascinating! Especially after his role in 'Round the World in 80 Days' - one would have thought he would have seen the curvature of the earth, what!

	Thank you Eldrick:)))))) The balloon might have been any shape though..........round, sausage shape or even one of those with rabbit ears on:))

	Don’t pretend to know the unknowable. What you don’t know, you don’t know. Clear?

Member Since: May 2005 Posts: 2,280 Send Message	But is the Earth round or flat ?
Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 13,636 Send Message	♥ Kitty the Rubbish Cook ♥	Report	30 Jun 2008 17:35
	Is it hollow in the middle...........or filled with caramel or something.

Member Since: April 2008 Posts: 2,797 Send Message	Its a globe - which is different to being round - as it could still be flat, but round - as a pancake may be round, but flat....if you get my drift etc. On the other hand, spherically speaking, if it is a globe, then it can't be flat. Except in parts, like when a tyre is flat - but only at the bottom. And the sides. But it is still round. You see where I'm coming from here? But a tyre isnt a globe, so that puts a dent in that theory....hmmm..... Isnt science great!
