Comic #5265: flat
Description
Here's the transcription of the comic titled "Alternative Non-Spherical Earth Theories":
TITLE: ALTERNATIVE NON-SPHERICAL EARTH THEORIES:
| THEORY | PRO | CON |
|---|---|---|
| Möbius Earth | Explains how you can keep walking on the surface of Earth but never end up inside. | Difficult to explain lack of giant ribbon-like Earth overhead. Clouds suspected. |
| Half-Flat Earth | Good excuse for never traveling to other side of planet. | Compromise position pleases neither the 100% of scientists who believe Earth is round, nor the 4 guys who disagree. |
| Bowl-Shaped Earth | Possible to take waterslide from Alaska to Australia. | Hard to explain why aliens have never poured cereal and milk over us. |
| Anaximander Map Earth | Geography lessons much easier to memorize. | American cheese impossible to obtain. |
| Slightly Lumpy Oblate Spheroid Earth | Technically correct. | Society meetings rather boring. |
| Hollow Earth | Living inside giant balloon universe is nice for children. | Frankly, seems a bit silly. |
| Non-Existant Earth | Can't be disproven by humans since it posits humans don't exist. | Violates the observation that when you look around at stuff you see stuff. |
