If the world is flat, the stars are flat, and the sun is flat, then is a basketball just an optical illusion as well, or is that some crazy freak of nature called a sphere? So the greatest bodies in our solar system must just look flat, and the "golf" balls you juggle on your chin are some kind of awesome invention that brainiaks like yourselves had the infinite wisdom to spawn out of those humble minds you "FE'r" possess? Keep in mind this is a polite starter question, tread lightly.
