    This guy educates us all with:
    pi = 4
    Pythagoras's Theorem is wrong
    We do not know how to calculate the area of a square.

    Yet he sounds lucid and educated

    He may well threaten people with violence on the internet in his spare time, though. 😛

    Another thought:
    Is the World Wide Web actually a web at all? On a flat earth disc it could be but if the earth is a flat square [hence "4 corners of the earth], then it must be a grid rather than a web.

    Another thought:

    If the earth is a flat disc and the South Pole is a wall of ice at its circumference, then the North Pole must be at the centre of the disk, meaning that navigation via magnetic north would be impossible as "south" would be along lines of longitude traversing out from the pole in every possible direction (as they do now) but never converging at a sourthern pole.

    This would explain why Scott of the Antarctic got lost.

    Another thought:

    If the earth is a flat disc, then how thick is it and if Gravity is a conspiracy, why does it need a thickness at all?
    Furthermore if the asteroid that killed all the dinosaurs (did they exist??) had hit the sea, would it have gone straight through the disc allowing all the sea to drain of into space?

    And here I am thinking that there was an actual move to introduce pi=3 somewhere in the USA and thinking that dumb...

    actualy you can have other than right angles on a plane, and there are irregular shapes...so web is still appropriate I think.

    In order for a thing to be a conspiracy, a thing must exist.

    You're making me question my existence.

    The Asteroid can't get through adamantium as is well known...
