  > The light of the sun is confined to a limited area and its light acts like a spotlight upon the earth. They're skimping on a lot of detail here. And their animation shows the earth's illuminated area squishing like a bean bag.

  Well, at east that page answered a question I had: If these people believe the earth is flat, where is the center? I find it interesting[0] because with this answer[1] they also provide the means to prove them wrong. If that map was remotely close to being accurate, then circumnavigating the globe following a southern latitude should take much, much longer than following a northern latitude. Or easier: Flying from Johannesburg to Antananarivo (2150km, 3.5 hours by direct flight) should be much, much longer than from London to Moscow (2500km, 3.75 hours). And I think I know what a flatearther would say; "Conspiracy!!!" --- [0] Maybe interesting is not the word... funny?
