The bridge of the Humber estuary, Humberside, GB, with the longest crossing of the world, it measures 4630 feet (1410 m). The pylons which support the bridge measure 530 feet (162 m) and deviate from 0.12 feet (36 mm) of the parallel to compensate for the curve of the Earth. The overall length of the bridge is 1.36 mile (2.2 km).
There you go. case solved.

Well, since I couldn't sleep - I thought I'd check in here... boy - I hate to tell you, but this one will be thrown out so fast it'll make your head swim. ;)
Although I realize what you say is entirely 'on the level' as it were - the problem is that seeing as how any bridge is built by pylons, and is physically connected to each side of landmass at whatever level they so choose to a degree - you will never be able to prove they did not just 'do it' to once again include themselves in the conspiracy by just adjusting their bridge so it 'fits the mold' like all the other conspiratorial objects of the Round Earf Ebil!

But they would have to know about the conspiracy to plan to be in on it, and then it wouldn't be a very good conspiracy would it? Do you honestly think that NASA contacts every engineering company of every large bridge ever built?
As I have said many times, chalking up more and more to the conspiracy makes it increasingly less likely.

Don't you see? NASA is not the center of the conspiracy, it is a worldwide conspiracy involving many governments, etc. They WOULD know about the conspiracy and it just further proves the agenda according to the FET. You kidding? A mile long bridge? Of course they would be in on it.. something that massive being built by government agencies.
Just saying. There's your argument. Any FE'ers have an actual scientific one they'd like to argue? Or did I pretty much cover it?

The pylons were built vertically in relation to the earth. The pylons were built to be exactly the same height. The difference in heights is only a theoretical figure for what the difference should be if the earth were a globe.
Forum user "Niceguybut" even contacted the Humbar Bridge authority on the matter, for clarification on how the difference was calculated:

Lurk more. The Humber Bridge matter has been brought up on this forum many times before. The difference in pylon heights is a theoretical matter only. The engineers build the pylons vertically and to exactly the same height.
Niceguybut once tried to champion this matter. He was wrong.

I have no problem with this explanation. I had a problem when Omtimus invoked the conspiracy, which in retrospect is quite silly of him. Perhaps he should lurk more instead of growing the conspiracy. It is so full already!
