Rule 35 of the internet (see 34): If you can imagine it, there’s a creationist/fanatical sect, conspiracy theory group or general bunch of crazies with a website devoted to it.

Ladies and gentlebubbles, I present to you: The Flat Earth Society FAQ:

Q: “Why do the all the world Governments say the Earth is round?”
A: It’s a conspiracy

Q: “What about NASA? Don’t they have photos to prove that the Earth is round?”
A: NASA is part of the conspiracy too. The photos are faked.

Q: “Why has no-one taken a photo of the Earth that proves it is flat?”
A: The government prevents people from getting close enough to the Ice Wall to take a picture.

Q: “How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?”
A: Since NASA did not send rockets into space, they instead spent the money on developing advanced computers and imaging software instead

They are, of course, completely deluded. I mean, if you want to know the shape of the world, simply pray to His Noodly Appendage.
