Flat Earth! Gotta love it. There's a wonderful site created by an artistic fellow, Dave Fischer, creator of the Platygaean Society and FELFAT. Quoting from his FAQ about the Platygaean Society:
----------
1) What is the Earth's shape?

The Earth is flat. It is shaped in the form of a pentagon, and thus has five corners.

2) What is the "middle corner"?

If one was to draw a line from each corner to the centre of the opposing side of the Earth, the line would intersect in the middle of the Flat Earth. This place is known as the Middle Corner.

3) Hey, wait a minute, that is not a real corner...

So? The equator of the spherical earthers is an imaginary line as well. Does this mean that their model does not have a northern and a southern hemisphere? You cannot count in imaginary numbers, but does that mean that they do not exist?
...

5) Does the "middle corner" prove that 5=6?

Yes
-------

Here's a link to the FAQ.

And for goodness sake don't fail to check out FELFAT, which organization holds that the Earth is now spherical but was forced into that unnatural shape by television moguls. FELFAT boldly proposes a remedy:

"The Flat Earth Liberation Front Against Television (FELFAT) is working towards the return of the earth from its current unnatural spherical shape to its original, natural flat unbounded shape. To do this, we propose to dig a trench through the earth's crust, unfold it, and landfill around the edges, infinitely."

Enjoy!
