There are, to my knowledge, no flesh coloured Frootloops, oh thee of the gnomic utterances...
Several many years ago, about the time that the Apollo missions started sending back those big blue marble pictures of the earth, a reporter was interviewing the President of the New York Flat Earth Society:
Reporter: "Have you seen those new pictures of the earth? Doesn't that prove that the earth is round?"
Flat Earth Society President: " Of course, it's round, but it's round in the same way that this is round."
and he held up a silver dollar.
Reporter: "Are you offering me a bribe?"
Flat Earth Society President: "No, I trying to make a point!"
Reporter: "That thing is not pointed."
Flat Earth Society President: "Are you a real reporter?"
Reporter: "Yes, but I'm trying to be ironic."
Flat Earth Society President: " But this is serious business. How about this?"
And he held up an orange cut in half.
Flat Earth Society President: " See the earth could be shaped like this. Flat on one side, and curved on the back, or the front, depending on which side you are looking at."
Reporter: (Taking a bite out of the orange) "I think I'd like to have my dollar now."
Back to the studio.......
If it was half an orange, wouldn't it tipple to the side?
In space, there is no "to the side"...
Alas, deb, but are we in space if we live on an orange?
Er - I believe you have failed to grasp the intrinsic nature of metaphor! He said it was LIKE an orange. LOL!
Mind you, maybe he was just taking the pith.....
LOL!
Shouldn't we have pithfalls, instead of waterfalls?
perhaps its a navel (of the buddha) orange
