Obvious heretical teaching there; it shows a tortoise, not the correct
turtle swimming though the depths of space.

Time to get out the tar and feathers, boys...

OK, how deep is the water and what's at the bottom?

Space has no bottom, obviously, you heretic.

No, one does not have to. 38,000 deaths are an awful lot, period.



About the same number of people in the US commit suicide.

Strangely enough 38000 is also roughly identical to the number of peole
who die per day in the US...

But last I looked this newsgroup was about airplanes, homebuilts etc.
Not about carcrashes nor its toll. That's statistics and with that tool
it is perfectly proveable that Earth is flat.

I have always suspected the Earth is flat. Now what I want to know is
what's on the other side.

Would you believe: "talf si htraE eht" ?


Actually, according to one well-known story there is a turtle there.

No bottom its turtles - all the way down

Egad, an infinity of turtles.

Shell, yes.

I have to admit it makes one shell of a story.

OK, now I'm having a problem. The Earth is flat, and I have heard
space is curved, those must be some flexible turtles.

It's all rock and roll to me but ... let's get tar and feathers anyway:
we'll build some wings with it.

Has been done before and the Icarus-family claimed it worked. Might work
again!

Nah. Remember The earth is at the bottom of a gravity well. Now, while it
may be a "bottom-less" pit, turtles are admirably suited to brace themselves
against the sides of it. As long as it's big enough to reach the side with
all four limbs, that is.

I don't like the risk/reward ratio.

If anything is not *exactly* right, you'll be DEAD-alus!
