This Just A Joke Re Tors Tora Tora Mentioning The Flat Earth Society

[Cartesian]

I saw a cartoon that said buy this antiwrinkle cream and we will give you a free subscription to the flat earth society.

[mikey4444]

Unfortunately, there are people around the world that really think that the planet earth is flat !

They are outnumbered, of course, by the number people that think that the Grand Canyon is only 6000 years old, by a factor of many millions !

[nailit]

Going by the same logic Mikey, there are people who believe in a supernatural being who probably out number those that don't. Lies, damn lies and stastistics...etc!

[mikey4444]

Indeed nailit !

Gawd Mikey
If I got a pound every time you trotted out the Grand Canyon comparison I would trump Trumps millions.

[maggiebee]

Aaww no.............now you're going to tell me the moon isn't made out of green cheese!!

[mikey4444]

Yeah, but it works Retrocop ! There are millions of Americans that really believe it....I have met many of them over the years. It's not a joke....they really do ! Its even started to creep in over here, with the rise of fundamentalist Christian churches in Britain.

Its the first question that I would ask any politician standing for office, if I lived in America....if they failed that simple question, then they couldn't count on my vote.

I was just about to post about the fascinating Grand Canyon fact myself ... luckily mikey once again got it in before me!

[Mamyalynne]

I like Unicorns.

[mikey4444]

Happy to oblige Talbot !

[nailit]

what is Retro's issue with the Grand Canyon?
what am I missing?
Nothing to do with religious belief is it???

[mikey4444]

Nailit...I just wish we had more religious nutters here on AB, because I would love to debate the GC issue with them. What a field day that would be !

(Retro....don't mean you ! )

[Psybbo]

And we have politicians in Ireland that think the Giant's Causeway is about 3 or 4,000 years old!

[mikey4444]

Psybbo...there are backward people everywhere on the planet, although perhaps we shouldn't expect so many of them, in countries that have universal free education !

[DTCwordfan]

Isn't the Grand Canyon 6000 years old? After all, wasn't that where Barbara Castle was conceived?

[mikey4444]

Psybbo..........print out the following Wiki link and distribute it amongst your backward politicians, with gay abandon !

[mikey4444]

DTC...you have succeeded in losing me completely !

[DTCwordfan]

Have another ale, mikey, it's Saturday evening and we are missing the Nungate Towers lunacy......

[mikey4444]

Time for bed methinks !

[DTCwordfan]

talking of lunacy, are you down here for Easter...I may be in London next w/end and then back down here....

[mikey4444]

Yes DTC...probably...I will let you know closer to the Easter weekend.
