Yes, Virginia there is a Flat Earth Society.
Started in 1956, the Society holds onto the notion that the earth is “a flat disk centered at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice, with the sun, moon, planets and stars only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth.”
Really… really?!
If you’re like me, you’re scratching your head right now and asking yourself “what about all those photos of earth taken from space, the grace of the sun rolling over the horizon at sunset, and the South Pole!” No, the South Pole is not mentioned by the Flat Earth Society, but please, don’t tell the penguins!
