    Hello Everybody,

    It has now been proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that
    the Earth is flat. Not even the scientists and physicists of
    FidoNet can doubt me now -

    Daredevil 'Mad' Mike Hughes Killed In Crash Of Homemade Rocket

    The daredevil "Mad" Mike Hughes was killed in a rocket launch gone
    wrong Saturday in Barstow, Calif., two witnesses to the accident
    confirmed. He was 64.

    It was the third launch for Hughes in one of his homemade rockets and
    part of his eventual plan to be able to determine for himself, up in
    the sky, if the Earth was as flat as he proclaimed to believe.

    A steel ladder was attached to the rocket's launch ramp to make it
    easier for Hughes to enter the rocket's cockpit. But when the rocket
    launched, it ended up hitting the ladder and setting the launch on
    course for disaster.

    Taking aside the claim about flat earth I can say that in general the
    rocket idea was neat and cool. To be launched up on to several miles
    altitude and be descended to earth on a parachute. But you should do it
    more carefully, however. It's a pity.

    Bye, Lee!

    Hello Everybody,

    Yes, it is true. Always has been. The earth really is flat.

    For those who have an allergy to mathematics, Fidonet's resident
    scientist Michiel van der Vlist will be more than happy to explain
    it to all who ask.
