Here Be Dragons


Another day another victory for Strange Maps. This time they bring us The International Square Earth Society, which I can only assume (and hope) is a spoof on the flat earth crazies.

It's quite an authoritative and well-argued (if not well-reasoned) construction of a square earth based on biblical evidence and a good dose of insanity. My favorite section is the FAQ, where Mr. Wilcox argues that airline pilots and Hollywood (obviously) are in league with the devil.

I suppose it is a bit confusing to distinguish between what is metaphorical or not, given all the insanity in the Bible. I'm still on Genesis, but so far it's been quite an interesting read.
