I'm referring to these goofballs: The Flat Earth Society (also known as the International Flat Earth Society or the International Flat Earth Research Society) was an organization that sought to further the belief that the Earth is flat <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth> rather than a sphere. The modern organization was founded by Englishman Samuel Shenton <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel_Shenton_%28Flat_Earth%\ 29&action=edit&redlink=1> in 1956,[1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society#cite_note-0> and later led by Charles K. Johnson <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._Johnson> , who based the organization in his home in Lancaster <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancaster,_California#Recreation_and_cultu\ re> , California <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California> . The formal society appears to have disbanded after Johnson's death in 2001, while its name continues to be used by various web sites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society [snip]
