I'll go with the guy from the holy grail. "And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to be banana shaped".

Earth is not a sphere. It's not perfectly round. Due to the rotation it's a little fatter across the equator, kind of like most Americans.

It's rounded and has a more cubed shape, but not circular, as you can see from this picture.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Whoa, I never knew that there was a W over Wisconsin :P

That's Africa. :P

*facedesk* I thought it was just really out of proportion (you know, like those maps that make Greenland look bigger than Canada) and thought that the landmass in the upper left was Russia.... Oh boy, that's bad >.>

It isn't. All planets and stars are disk-shaped and rest on the back of four elephants standing on a turtle. Haven't you read Discworld?

Apparently satellites, space exploration, Magellan, and other such things are part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.

WTF? Why have you abandoned Nintendo with your new avatar. Your insolence and treachery will not be forgotten. :x :P

It isn't a different shape - several people have been in to space, including Clint Eastwood. If he says the Earth is round, then it's round.

No.

America deserves to be bashed.

If it was anything but a complete sphere then tides would be really messed up due to the centrifugal force not acting equally on all sides, it could even stretch the land at the corners (the reason the earth isn't a perfect sphere is because of the centrifugal force)

[QUOTE="Smoke89"]

So satellite images and astronauts are all lying to us?

vidplayer8

definitely.

The earth is obviously a pyramid.

You are wrong! It is a cylinder!
