If the earth is flat, why is its shadow round? Didnt you see the eclipse?

I saw a full lunar eclipse the other day, and the earths shadow is round. If this means the sun is under us at 12.00 why was at 10.00 the shadow round?

Oh dear.

The sun goes under us in the FE model?

I assume so....

Well it doesn't.  It circles us like it would on RE, except on a FE.  I really don't know how to describe it to you.

The government is making you think the shadow is round, what you're actually seeing is some kind of fake moon.

Shadow Object?

That's pretty weak if all you can do is run and hide saying it's a government cover up.  How about a more creative explanation?

dude now really shut the fuck up, really, then you must recant on the idea of NASA using its 16.4 billion dollars for stuff besides space exploration

Lol, I believe the post was a joke.

Have you not read the faq u faqing penguin? the 16.4 billion dollars was spent on developing photographic editing software, eg Photoshop 1: NASA Edition quickly followed by Photoshop 2: Round Earth Manipulating Edition

edit: yes it was a joke

lol might be, but its a good warm up for them FEers

Nah, FE'ers wait for grammer mistakes to make their move.

NASA supposedly uses their money for software programming, they cant fly in space, and they sure as hell cant fake a moon

this is the FEer idea,

REer ftw

The shadow object has been officially stricken off the "list" of FE evidence. This is because some time ago Tom asked everyone to look at the moon during a lunar eclipse as he guarunteed that stars would be hidden by the shadow object thus proving its existence. Well I followed Tom's advice (for once) and took some great photos of the recent eclipse of the moon.


See picture in my sig for result. Hopefully we'll never hear of the ridiculous shadow object ever again and they can start trying to think of a plausable explanation for the phases of the moon and for lunar eclipses.

Pictures are not admissable as evidence. Yours is clearly edited.

I didn't have to edit it, it was visible to millions and millions of people across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Yes, but I did not see it because I was playing Rainbow Six 3, therefore it didn't happen.
Refer to FAQ.

Even if you did see it, its all fake, why do u think these events dont occur that often? the government are low on cash right now and are struggling to make these so called "round earth evidences" such as eclipses ect
On another note i too did not see it as i was digging a hole in my back yard, ive been digging it for sometime now, im trying to see what is holding the earth up at the bottom, i have currently dug around 1 metre, i will be investing in some power tools to help the process

The shadow object could be the exact size of the Moon.

what?

The shadow that covers the moon is alot larger than the moon itself.

why can't the moon be reflecting light from....."something".....in the FE model. Thus when an object that lets light down towards the earth but not up towards the moon (Like a two-way mirror) it blocks the light going to the moon, but this doesn't block out the light coming from stars as it lets light downwards towards the earth.

I'm a REer btw...

More importantly, what happened to your avatar? It got squished. Must of had something to do with the extra gravity during the so-called lunar  "eclipse".
