Explain it please.

Because I'm pretty sure Antarctic isn't that big.

How can you be sure? Have you ever measured Antarctica?

Whoa, there, that's a pretty big claim. Which part(s) of this document have you produced, and through what means?

All of it. Through Microsoft Word and Google Images. Honestly, I'm insulted by your accusations of falsehood. I'll have you know I spent a good portion of an afternoon drafting that document for my employers. Now drink your Kool-aid like a good boy and believe what the government tells you!
But this is getting off-topic, and I'm sure none of us want that... I apologize...

I believe something about "spatial distortions" was mentioned elsewhere?

What method did you use to measure Antarctica?

What method did you use to measure Antarctica?
A simple equation.
(x) to the (y) power, plus (z); where
(x)= a random 1-6, determined by dice,
(y)= my federally-issued yearly salary, and
(z)= the amount of sheeple to ever visit the South Pole.
Not that it matters. You're all just a figment of my imagination anyway.

You measured things with equations? I think you're confusing data analysis with the collection of data. I suspect markjo is mostly interested in the latter.

I thought my sources of information were made quite clear, but (Teehee.) I can see how my pro-state (Haha.) leanings might have wrecked... umm... (Bwahaha!) your interest in actually reading my replies, let alone responding to the OP.
Oh well. I'm still having fun.

If you have a point to make, please make it. If you want to make penis and butt jokes instead, I'll gladly move this thread to CN for you to continue.
To bring you back up to speed: You have claimed that you personally measured Antarctica. We'd like to see some evidence of that, and an explanation of the method you've used. So far, it really looks as if you Googled "how big is antarctica??/? :(" and called it measurement.

What, you're not catching on? :-\
My point is that of course I haven't measured the coastline of Antarctica. Neither have you. All I wanted was an actual explanation of the theory, but it seems all I'm going to get is the usual BS.
Conspiracy and direct observation you say? Yeah, well it's all subjective. Existence itself is a lie!
You guys seemed sharper than this. I'm truly disappointed.

Have you tried the wiki?

Ah, so one explorer's findings are accepted while another's are discarded, depending on each report's convenience to the Society? Have any of you actually proved for yourselves anything on that page?
-
Of course they haven't.
-

No. What explorers' findings have we discarded?
-
Antarctica probably isn't that big. I've never measured it either, and one recent visitor applied a number to it that was greater than the circumference of the spherical earth, which was odd, but I suppose if you account for nooks and crannies it may be plausible. The spatial distortion person was me, and that's because I'm of the opinion that the earth is an infinite plane in a closed loop, which is strange and difficult to render in two dimensions but solves all this pesky whining about distances and the size of antarctica.

NASA Astronauts.

Please post your ships logs.

Please post your ships logs.
What makes you think that ship's logs are in the public record? ???

I'm not the one makingbaseless claims. When you have the ships logs you can present your "evidence" of a "round" earth.
-
Why are the ship's logs the only thing you will accept?
-
What method did you use to measure Antarctica?
A simple equation.
(x) to the (y) power, plus (z); where
(x)= a random 1-6, determined by dice,
(y)= my federally-issued yearly salary, and
(z)= the amount of sheeple to ever visit the South Pole.
Not that it matters. You're all just a figment of my imagination anyway.
I just tried using this equation and it doesn't work. Don't let Nonbeliever fool you. He has not measured Antarctica.

What do ship's logs have to do with the shape of the earth?
-

What other logs can you present?

I am trying to tone it down after several warnings. However, this has to be the dumbest thread ever. Is every single person who has gone to the Antarctic coast an idiot? Or maybe only the cartographers?

Sure, when you post yours. I'm not seeing anything like a source on that wiki page.

I'm not the one making outlandish claims. I discourage all readers to avoid sea travel.

Neither am I. I'm asking questions, and then when people refuse to answer them I post satire.

Perhaps if it wasn't so difficult to tell the difference between one and the other, people would take you slightly more seriously.

Again, why the bias towards sources of information?

We might answer your question if you stopped lying to us. Do you work for the British Antarctic Survey? If so, please post your credentials.
A business card or an employee ID will suffice.
Until then, good luck.

I would ask you to read the first page again, but it's obvious you're just trying to stretch out the dance. Classic avoidance. I shouldn't have expected so much of this forum...

So you didn't measure Antarctica. Glad we got that out of the way.
