About a week ago,
Charles Johnson, longtime president
of the Flat Earth Society of Lancaster, CA, passed away.
Johnson's platygaean beliefs were a quaint mixture of scientific empiricism,
Christian faith and common sense (which is, after all, what tells you that the
Earth is flat), inherited from Flat Earthers in Victorian England.
Among believers in the Flat Earth, Johnson counted Moses, Jesus, Copernicus,
Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, the last 3 because of the UN logo.
It is believed that he was the last of his kind. (via Lev)
