The Earth is Flat *shock*

Found this online today and wasn't sure what to make of it.

It's supposedly the homepage for an activist group that believes the earth is really flat and modern day science is a lie. At first i thought it was a joke. If you read through the page some of the comments seem almost satirical. So i did a Google search and I found a Wikipedia entry on them. So maybe this is a real organization i don't know. The wikipedia article seemed somewhat detailed but i guess it could be part of an elaborate hoax.

I didn't think anyone could possibly still believe this.

and when read this:
The Flat Earth Society is not in any way responsible for the failure of the French to repel the Germans at the Maginot Line during WWII. Nor is the Flat Earth Society responsible for the recent yeti sightings outside the Vatican, or for the unfortunate enslavement of the Nabisco Inc. factory employees by a rogue hamster insurrectionist group. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the loss of one or more of the following, which may possibly occur as the result of exposing one's self to the dogmatic and dangerously subversive statements made within: life, limb, vision, Francois Mitterand, hearing, taste, smell, touch, thumb, Aunt Mildred, citizenship, spleen, bedrock, cloves, I Love Lucy reruns, toaster, pine derby racer, toy duck, antelope, horseradish, prosthetic ankle, double-cheeseburger, tin foil, limestone, watermelon-scented air freshner, sanity, paprika, German to Pig Latin dictionary, dish towel, pet Chihuahua, pogo stick, Golf Digest subscription, floor tile, upper torso or halibut.

you can be sure it's a joke :D

LOL yeah. I was thinking it might be a joke making fun of Flat Earthers. But after some time with Google i came across a forum filled with people who do believe in Flat Earth Theory. All of the nonsense made my brain hurt so i didn't really read many threads.

I mean really, they think the edges of the earth are surrounded by 150 foot high ice walls that holds the water in. The reason no one has ever seen these ice walls is because the government has guards stationed to keep people away from it. They have this idea of this impossibly huge conspiracy among nations all around the world (including high ranking officials in each nations respective space program). Ugh, i cant even explain it.

They claim the number of Flat Earthers is in the thousands. lol
