Thanks to Neil deGrasse Tyson who demonstrates that Irony is the glue that holds civilization together (if not the universe). My only question is whether the flat earth is necessarily round? After all, how can we travel to the four corners of the earth if the world is not square?

Exercise Your Mind

“The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their “vital interests” are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the “sanctity” of human life, or the “conscience” of the civilized world.” — James Baldwin
