You watch the video and tell me if he was joking during the Congressional hearing.

Well. Send me a link.
Besides, everyone know and island would have to be a lot small than Guam to tip over. Especially if the chain to the bottom isn't really tight.

What you should've told him was, he should be more concerned with the chemtrails the ticket he purchased allowed to be sprayed.

I once made the mistake of trying to explain contrails to a guy wanting to know about that white smoke we spray out the back. After I realized he wasnt getting it I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Ships at Sea
 
It was always explained to me viewing through a telescope the ships out at sea were appearing as though they were submerged and slowly rising as they approached the port.

Captains were asked if they were submerged or were doing anything strange. Nope.

The only explanations were either the curvature of the earth (use one hand curved and the other as though it was the ship coming in towards them) or the Martians kidnapped them. Don't get me started as to which is correct. If they ascribe to the second theory, tell them to ask the next little green man they see at the airport. :eek:

I was asked the flat earth question for the first time last year. The passenger was one of the last off and she hinted while asking me, that she knew I was going to give her the correct answer, that the earth is flat.

After I laughed a little awaiting the punchline (there was none) I realized she was not joking and said, no the world is round.

She rolled her eyes and said, in slight exasperation, "okay then.." and began to trudge up the jetway.

I said "where are the edges??" and as she continued up with no acknowledgement, I reminded myself of an important fact: "you've done nothing when you've bested a fool."
