i instantly knew they were morons when i read that"shouldent the person on the south pole be pulled down too?" they would, of course, be pulled to the center, not down as in space.

Heh, yeah. I remember a friend of mine told me about a time when he was explaining to his dad that there is no up or down in space; his father allegedly replied, "Well they certainly didn't go down to go to the moon!" xd

A few problems: * Photographic evidence of a round earth (all of which could be fake, of course! xd ) *The atmosphere makes it a little hard for things to just...fall off. *How is it that ships manage to return? *In space, nothing has a real top or bottom, so the north and south poles are really just an illusion used to keep us from getting confused and to make mapmaking easier.
The site's a hoax, no doubt, but it made me laugh whee
