Wazza, I have never ever met anyone over the age of........5-6ish, who wasn't sure if the Earth really was of spherical proportions.

My view of the populace over the other side of the pond has not changed by the above clip, and again, I was just being satirical.

As for taking the piss......what would one expect........seriously? We've all taken the piss out of people for less on this very forum! !laugh!

[quote]Well, as George Orwell said, we take many things on the say-so of others... How would you prove, in a TV studio, that the earth is spherical?[/quote]

Come now Wazza.....you must know that to prove anything you must have a set of rules to base/compare your findings. I mean, your could prove that the Earth is spinning by the 'hole in bottom of bucket filled with water and watch creation of mini whirlpool' technique. But to believe your findings you have to first believe specific physical laws.

Studio audience would believe you if you just replaced the flat map of the world with a spherical 3d spinning earth

dontcha think?

Hey, there's no need to overload their brains with such confusing demonstrations!

Think man, before someone gets hurt!

Their brains must hurt.

They check their brains at the door on entering

Thats why they need the prompting as to when to applaud
