...Here comes the Flat Earth Society!I was using an old 486 computer in my brother's room when I opened the computer desk drawer and noticed a letter to my brother from a "Flat Earth Research Society". Inside (okay, so I was a bit curious) there was a membership form and explanations on what the society is. Read it for yourself: The International Flat Earth Society. The form show in the article is the same as the one I saw in the desk drawer. Here are some more related links: The Flat-Out Truth A summary of Flat Earth "theory" if you don't want to read the entire thing A parody of Flat Earth Society--Read the Flat Earth FAQ under "Platygean Information" ------------------ "Il est venu le temps des cath�drales Le monde est entr� Dans un nouveau millenaire. L'homme a voulu monter vers les �toiles �crire son histoire Dans le verre ou dans la pierre." --"Le Temps des Cath�drales", Notre Dame de Paris

Have you ever had the compulsion to go find a certain person and just beat them repeatedly w/ a painful, but not life-threatening device? I'm having that compulsion right now, after reading some of that... :-)------------------ "If you hear only one song this year, there's something terribly wrong with you." -They Might Be Giants, "Critic Intro" [This message was edited by TSN on June 20, 1999.]

A friend of mine had some Flat Earth literature back in 1981. Crazy then, crazier now.Still, I appreciated the "Rozencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" reference. About ten years ago, I found in my local library an old book just jam-packed with Hollow Earth and UFO theories. Most of the Hollow Earth stuff was many quotes from different believers' books....all quoting the same few sources!! (If you repeat something stupid a hundred times, it's still stupid, guys!) Astrology phone-lines, high-priced feng-shui consultants, magnetic-healing, the Flat Earth... We live in an age of the greatest scientific technology in all of human history, and some of the worst scientific gullability.

I will have to say that that is the most interesting thing I've seen today (Other than that of a bunch of sheep.) I may look into it some more.------------------ Lancelot: I'll go Bridgekeeper: Stop! Whosoever crosses this bridge must answer me these questions three, e're the other side he see. Lancelot: Ask the questions bridgekeeper Bridgekeeper: What is your name. Lancelot: I am Lancelot of Camelot. Bridgekeeper: What is your quest Lancelot: I seek the holy grail. Bridgekeeper: What is your favourite colour? Lancelot: Blue. Bridgekeeper: Right! Off you go. Lancelot: Oh, thank you. (If you don't know, Electric Co.)

What's the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead reference? I've only ever read the very beginning of that. I seem to recall something about one of them saying that someplace didn't exist, and the other suggested it was a "conspiracy of cartographers"... :-)------------------ Brain: "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" Pinky: "I think so, Brain, but, if you get a long little doggie, wouldn't you just call it a 'dachshund'?"
