I'm still not convinced.
If the earth is flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

Hang on!
If the earth is flat, where does all the water go that falls off the edge?
And as a corollary to that, from where does the replacement water come?
And as a corollary to that, if there is no replacement water, I assume that we will end up in permanent drought and all die of thirst.

Well, some of it evaporates into the atmosphere and comes back as precipitation. But in order to keep it all in balance, there is a hole in the bottom of the ocean which is an inlet for a giant pump and distribution system. Salt water is pumped in, goes through a giant reverse osmosis filter and is the sent through millions of miles of pipes and tubing where it emerges in various springs around the earth. Well all, that is, except Alice Springs.

The earth really is flat. But the universe has severe barrel distortion.
A more clinically sharp universe will be released sometime in quarter 3 of 2018.
Lr has a proflie that will correct that.

But what about Coopers? That can not possibly come from the USA. Way too good.

Probably from Canada then.
How do you think we got the contract for the Canadarm?

But nobody is denying the existence of Canada. Personally I'm dubious - it seems like the USA with civility and politeness. Too good to be true

Of course, if you don't exist, how can you think of Canada existing?

Welcome to the Matrix.

It is really hard to prove your existence on the internet.

But if anyone wants to send me a return ticket to Australia and back, I'll be happy to go and confirm their existence. (But really I'm just trying to get in on the action. I hear NASA pays good money to Australia verifiers. Why else would anyone believe in something as bizarre as an upside down continent or a round earth?)

Obvious ploy by one of NASA's paid actors. Even manages to still get paid while living in the US. Very clever Matt.



I have distant relatives in Australia. I wonder where they really live? Never met them so I wonder if they actually exist at all.

I've taken people to the park who claimed to be from Australia. I should have been querying them as to how one got on the list of people NASA pays to pretend there is an Australia, instead of asking them questions about their imaginary country.

I'm willing to support the ruse if the money's good.
