In the interest of science

[karohemd]

Go here and add "Oblate Spheroid Enthusiasts" to your interests. Blame ginasketch ;o)

Background: from a post by ginasketch:

"I bought Dry Store Room No. 1 the history of the Natural History Museum
  by Richard Fortey this weekend, and in it Fortey writes:

  "I understand there is now a Creation Museum in Kentucky. Its own
  creators no doubt regard it as a "balance" to all those pesky
  "evolutionary" museums.

  It is interesting that the embodiment of respectability for an idea is
  still a museum, as if a Museum of Falsehoods were a theoretical
  impossibility. I look forward to the Museum of the Flat Earth, as a
  counterbalance to all those oblate spheroid enthusiasts."

Is this a new take on the 'falsifying statistics' craze?

We believe that the earth is round and not a theory.;)

In that case, shouldn't there at least be a community setting out the basic principles of such a revolutionary theory?

Not until we've formed an exploratory committee to determine the parameters of the discussion and have a referendum on the definition of 'oblate'.

Hehe. Small world. Looking at her friends list, you rather than me seem the odd one out, though.
I met her via mutual friends at a party in Cambridge earlier this year but have known her online for a while longer.
