Is the earth flat or round?
I say it's flat, damn it, and it has a right to be flat. And I think that we are doing immeasurable harm to the earth in continuing to insist that it is round.

2. Hey
if you don't love the Earth, why don't you just divorce her and let others who DO love her take care of her? Murderer!

6. Yes! And it is only the speed at which it spins that makes people
think that it is actually round. Like when you spin a quarter on a table, you know.
