OK, so you don't buy the Holy Grail theory. Well, what about the Hollow Earth?

Admiral Byrd:

According to a certain questionable publication, a small
booklet distributed by a company in the state of Missouri,
U.S.A., in early 1947, famous American aviator Admiral
Richard E. Byrd was sent on an Arctic expedition by the
United States Government for the purpose of determining the
feasibility of mining uranium in the Arctic Circle. If we
believe what follows, on February the nineteenth, just after
completing three hours into his flight, Admiral Byrd had an
experience which totally changed his outlook on life, and
his personal view of the American Government as well. Here
then are what some people claim to be actual extracts from
Byrd's secret diary for the months of February and March of
that year, and then some final remarks recorded nine years
later in 1956 just prior to his death:

----- Begin Quote -----

I must write this diary in secrecy and obscurity. It
concerns my Arctic flight of the nineteenth day of February
in the year of nineteen and forty seven.

There comes a time when the rationality of men must fade
into insignificance and one must accept the inevitability of
the Truth! I am not at liberty to disclose the following
documentation at this writing...perhaps it shall never see
the light of public scrutiny, but I must do my duty and
record here for all to read one day. In a world of greed and
exploitation of certain of mankind can no longer suppress
that which is truth.

FLIGHT LOG: BASE CAMP ARCTIC, 2/19/1947

0600 Hours- All preparations are complete for our flight
northward and we are airborne with full fuel tanks at 0610
Hours.

0620 Hours- fuel mixture on starboard engine seems too rich,
adjustment made and Pratt Whittneys are running smoothly.

0730 Hours- Radio Check with base camp. All is well and
radio reception is normal.

0740 Hours- Note slight oil leak in starboard engine, oil
pressure indicator seems normal, however.

0800 Hours- Slight turbulence noted from easterly direction
at altitude of 2321 feet, correction to 1700 feet, no
further turbulence, but tail wind increases, slight
adjustment in throttle controls, aircraft performing very
well now.

0815 Hours- Radio Check with base camp, situation normal.

0830 Hours- Turbulence encountered again, increase altitude
to 2900 feet, smooth flight conditions again.

0910 Hours- Vast ice and snow below, note coloration of
yellowish nature, and disperse in a linear pattern. Altering
course for a better examination of this color pattern below,
note reddish or purple color also. Circle this area two full
turns and return to assigned compass heading. Position check
made again to base camp, and relay information concerning
colorations in the ice and snow below.

Impossible. We all know the earth is flat.

Obviously, not all the "strange birds" in this world are on the BaptistBoard.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make hash browns like they do at Waffle House.

Oh, does that explain the echoes the seismic people get when the think in their misguided heads they are mapping out the solid crust vs the liquid core and the solid inner core of the earth, based on how the vibrations from earthquakes bounce around down there?

My sarcasm exactly!!!

I thought we are on a giant star faring turtle and on her back are 4 elephants holding the world steady...

The giant turtle is swimming to her mate called "Harry" and we are dead scared of what is gonna happen when these turtles get together

PS so are the elephants.....

Yeah, but can't it be both flat & hollow, kinda like a disk (can't think of any hollow disks as an example)?

[Dr. Bob]

Since Mohorovicic discovered a dramatic increase in compressional seismic velocity at a depth of 54 km beneath the Kulpa Valley in Croatia, the “Moho” has become arguably the most important seismological horizon in the Earth owing to its role as defining the crust-mantle boundary. It is now known to be a ubiquitous feature of Earth, being found beneath both the continents and the oceans, and is commonly assumed to separate lower-crustal mafic rocks from upper-mantle ultramafic rocks.

IF the earth were hollow (or IF it were flat) we would know electronically. But if there is a CONSPIRACY and all this scientific information is really false DISinformation, then who's to say?

The original flat earth was confined, restricted, and twisted into a perverse spherical shape by a conspiracy of TELEVISION BROADCASTERS in an attempt to realize their dream of TOTAL HUMAN MIND CONTROL through subsurviant captive homogonized market share.

Before the Earth was enspherized, people could escape television broadcast beams by direct linear travel. This is no longer the case, as television broadcast transmissions encircle the finite globe. The goal was not spherization, but limitation. The most obvious solution, to cut off the remainder of the planet beyond a small fixed inner area, giving a flat, bounded earth with the traditional falling-off-the-edge-of-the-world, would have been too obvious, and would have left too much evidence of the deed.

Instead they cut out that same fixed inner area, then wrapped it up into a sphere, and destroyed historical evidence of the flat unbounded earth.

I couldn't have said it any better than the Flata Earth Society. I think I've discovered some evidence of the flat, five-sided earth the society espouses, but, of course, I dare not post it here for concerns of my own safety.

I actually like the concept of the sun sinking into the sea myself at night fall, and also the very beautiful and humanistic myth and legends of different cultures....

And.... to sail beyond the sunset into the West, beyond the..... I cannot recall the poem but it is so romantic a concept and of course it would be a three masted baque.....

By gummie bears Dr Bob that was an utterance and a half.... and rsr well you beat Dr Bob in word fencing I reckon, and really is there any higher praise than that.

Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

Arthur: This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

"enspherized" - new word for me

*** wondering how to work that into conversation ***

 

[rsr]

Try this:

"My cat! I don't know what to do. I was sitting in front of the computer and suddenly I heard a vile percussion behind me. Lo and behold, the cat had enspherized a prodigous volume of follicular matter and returned it to me, violently, as a present."

 

[Melanie]

Yech, totally gross rsr but good very good.....

 

[Daisy]

rsr: Offer her Petromalt enspherized on your finger.

 

[rsr]

Thanks. But I see you also can get it in pill form, in which case it would be encapsulized, formically speaking.
