I can't BELIEVE that anyone in this day and age with a bit of education and a modicum of common sense could believe that. Even creationists believe the earth was created in 4004 BC according to the calculations of Bishop Usscher using Biblical timelines.
It's a well known fact that the Earth was created at 9.15 am on 23rd March 204 BC. All archaeological and palaeontological evidence to the contrary was artificially aged and buried in the earth by aliens.
Wow, neat picture. But according to Everetts Many Worlds, which earth are we talking about here.
The TRUTH ... as revealed in the writings of the Roman sage Theodoricus Prachetii ...

Ken, by the way, the fly in your sub. Has a random number generated from the same type of fractal iteration used to generate its coordinates under Brownian motion. In this sense they share a first manifold topomorphy.
Regrettably --- Biology isn't a science.RT, on close inspection I don't think it belongs to the order 'Diptera' at all. I see no evidence of a single paired flight membrane, I suspect it's actually a small 'Formicidae'. I also suspect that the motion you observe is not truly random as the co-ordinate sequence appears to repeat after about 20 iterations and seems to be biased towards the top right quadrant.
Dame Warrigal, given your location in the antipodes, you would be best placed to answer the question of the true shape of planet Earth. Could you please perform either of the following experiments ...
1. Flush your loo (dunny)
2. Note the direction of wind rotation the next time you observe a typhoon
Contra-rotation with respect to the UK/US would indicate a shape consistent with an oblate spheroid, a cuboid or a solid conic section where the eccentricity is >0 and <1. Use of an inclinometer to determine the centre of mass should differentiate between these alternatives.
