Well, there's your proof, boys and girls: The Earth is flat. We can stop producing globes now.

LOL, love it when he says that the bubble staying centered is proof that the earth is flat. It's actually quite the contrary. If Earth were a flat slab of rock then the gravity would pull towards it's center of mass.

Let's imagine the center of the Earth is New York, actually make it Trump Tower. At that point the gravity pulls straight down. The mass of the huge slab going everywhere cancels all lateral gravity components. Now, as we fly from New York towards the end of the world (that would be Moscow, btw) we find less and less Earth ahead of us so there's more mass behind us adding a lateral component to gravity. Simply put there's more Earth behind us pulling than Earth ahead of us. The bubble would get pulled towards were there is more Earth. Now there's also a catch, he's using only one level. He should have used at least two to measure gravity in the airplanes flight direction and gravity ortogonal to that (that means at 90° off, for all you flat earthers).

The fact that the bubble stays flat is actually proof that the Earth is round and that gravity pulls equally in all directions.

BTW, if NYC is the center of the world and Moscow is the end of the world what happens to the trans siberian railroad and the orient express? That would mean there's more beyond Moscow right? So places like China and Japan are even further east. Why then did the US Navy sail from Pearl Harbor and island hop westward during WWII? It would be impossible to sail west from California and reach Guadalcanal.

Oh, and what exactly is this Panama Canal thing? Why was it built for? And what's it's purpose on a flat Earth?

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
