Default Error discovered on the Flat Earth Society board!

The administrator of the Flat Earth web site says, "Charles Johnson, the previous head of the organization, passed away some time ago."

This is false. Mr. Johnson didn't die; he just fell off the Edge.

You mean beyond the obvious one implied in that statement?

Finding an error at a flat earth website (or GLP for that matter) is not news. Finding factual content at either of these sites, now that would be news indeed!

I'm sure they spelled many many words correctly.

You know what would also be news? Actually seeing an intelligent discussion on their message boards. Now I know it is a completely woowoo website, but I have never seen so much profanity in one place before. Especially the angry ranting section. :roll:

Do you get the feeling they post what's in the "angry rantings" section themselves? They probably do it to make it seem like anyone who opposes a flat earth is a dirty-mouthed moron.

Greetings!

I just visited the F E site. It seems to be down. Or up. Or sideways.
