   	I am sorry John but the Flat Earth only existed in human minds   
   and it will still exist in those benighted realms. Proof has existed for   
   many years in multiply ways and the idiocy persists.   
   	A flat earth would likely be truely dead i.e. without life if it some   
   how managed to exist.
