[Rat-eating Hater]

This kid is just being a prick to entertain himself.

That has to be it. The other possibility would be some crackpot religion that insists on a flat earth but I've never heard of one that does. The kid is just an annoying troll.

[Saltheart]

..So as I understand it, the Loch Ness monster is flat right?

[boilingpitsofsewage]

Earth is a pizza.

[Jocko Johnson]

This retard reminds me of this kid.

Love this little furture lawyer and congressman! !

[ItsOver]

I think we've conclusively established that NASA faked all of that.

Yes.  In fact NASA itself is a hoax.

[chefist]

Is it me or is this show BLOWING UP?

[grizpsych]

Did John provide an explanation for night yet?

[Baron Landscape]

just sent in a question about alaska

[RichardHoaxland]

I can only imagine the "Ramone" calls.

It would be hilarious!

I hope this guy yells "FRUNKIS" at the end.

[Textor]

I was thinking the same earlier While I played devils advocate....I guess I love keeping it up though, fun stuff but the skeptic has to have better talking and debating skills....

Didn't he say something about the goPro having a fisheye lens and that is what caused the earth curvature?

[Jocko Johnson]

Earth is a pizza.

YUUUMMMMYYYYY!

Since we're so out on the fringe tonight, here's something I've always wondered..

If you're in a car travelling at the speed of light and turn your headlights on, what happens?

Can't travel at the speed of light in a car or any other massive object, so it is a moot point  .

It's true that if you assume the baseline is horizontal (the only reason you can't see from 1 vertex to another is mtns. in the way or something about the atmosphere), trigonometry will give you a distance to the Sun of about what he claims, & has been claimed by flat Earthers forever.  Then you need to postulate something about the atmosphere blocking sunlight during the night -- maybe some absorptive opacity in space centered over the North Pole.  But then how do you acc't for the points on the horizon where the Sun seems to rise & set?

Damnit Sabu!!!  Dont get him started on Midget Nazi Eskimoes!!

[QuantumMystics]

So...if the Earth is flat, how come the oceans don't fall of the edge? Huh? huh? Answer me that!!

From what I have read they posit that we live in puddle of sorts surrounded by a large Ice shelf we call that Antarctic and we have global treaties that NOBODY without scientific permission can travel to the Antarctic or explore it for 20 more years or more. The thinking maybe we would be blocked if I or you or others wanted to explore it.

we are just all used to closing our eyes at about the same time of day

[malachi.martini]

Wow, what's that....?

Weather balloons are cheap, so are GoPros. Very easy to send one up to get great footage... The director of an abduction movie did it for footage too.

[Claudius]

What will happen now that the professor rage quits the show?? Wont be much of a show left then...

I'm guessing open lines... maybe to call into John?

[ItsOver]

Earth is a pizza.

Pancakes, Mrs. Butterworth, pizza.  Crap, at least this show is making me hungry as hell.

[RoseGirl]

Now you see....a round pancake would be a dumpling. Can we please just all pick up a book now and then???

That is a very relative question...

better than this discussion

[UnfamiliarWind]

So...if the Earth is flat, how come the oceans don't fall of the edge? Huh? huh? Answer me that!!

It's a giant infinity pool. Super cool if you swim up to the edge and look out into space!

[b_dubb]

Earth is a pizza.

AND IT IS DELICIOUSNESS

The flat earth guy is just having fun.  I am surprised the doctor is taking him seriously.

I think the term you're looking for is "troll".

[Dixon Bawls]

Since all matter is infinite at that speed, I like to imagine that all the photons would expand and become infinite like blueberries a giant cosmic muffin.

[Claudius]

Did John provide an explanation for night yet?

It is a large blanket which THEY put over the sky!

[cljohnston108]

Y'know, John's voice sounds awfully familiar...
Anybody watch South Park?

[trostol]

GRAVITY IS MAGIC!!!!
