Wow a Bank Holiday and the sun is shining! Miracle of miracles!
So in a show full of great “summer fun” classics we also took time out to take a peek at Britain’s First Flat Earth Convention that was held last weekend in a Birmingham hotel.
Two hundred converts gathered to hear convention organiser, GARY JOHN, declare that ‘People are waking up to an explosion of interest in flat earth theories and increasing mistrust of governments.’
Other speakers included NHS worker David Marsh who claims to have disproved planetary motion, using a Nikon camera and an app from his back garden.
Marsh said, ‘My research destroys big bang cosmology. It supports the idea that gravity doesn’t exist and the only true force in nature is electromagnetism.’
And the world of celebrities was represented by the likes of American rapper B.o.B. – aka Bobby Ray Simmons Jr and Former England cricketer ‘Freddie’ Flintoff who said, ‘If you’re in a helicopter and you hover why does the Earth not come to you if it’s round?
‘Why, if we’re hurtling through space, would water stay still? Why is it not wobbling? Also if you fire a laser about 16 miles, if the world was curved, you shouldn’t be able to see it but you can.’
He even claims to be warming to the idea of a global conspiracy to conceal the truth although you do have to wonder why governments would want to pretend that the earth is round, if it really is flat!
We also heard about the Korean airport cleaner who’s struck gold after finding seven gold bars worth a total of £240,000 whilst emptying a rubbish bin at Inchon International Airport on 26 April.
Under Korea’s “Finders Keepers” law if the owner doesn’t come forward to claim the bars within six months, the cleaner will be able to take ownership.
Now there’s a thing!
See you again tomorrow,
Scott
