"There is a school of thought which states, however, that the Earth does not move through space, but rather that it rests on the back of a giant turtle, and that what we call gravity is, in fact, the turtle's animal magnetism."

Animal magnetism has nothing to do with real magnetism.

This "real magnetism" you speak of applies only to metallic substances. Are we metallic? Nope we're animals. Animal magnetism would be what keeps us down to earth, not "real magnetism."

Keep in mind, however, that the statement about the turtle and animal magnetism is only one single school of thought's point of view, much like all the different schools of thought when it comes to religion. While most of them can be wrong, one of them can also be right.

sorry but i beg to differ (funny we were talking about this in my chemistry class today) but every object with mass is pulled toward with a force to everyother object with mass. Its just that the ratio of those 2 objects compared to the earth are so small its not noticebale even if its a 10 ton boat etc. and seeing as you are magnetically charged, you are attracted to other things. but your right about the single school of thought.

(what i said might not be entirely true, that came from memory -.-)

The phrase, "animal magnetism" has absolutely NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING to do with "what keeps us down on Earth."

Yes. Beneath the Earth, or hanging off the edges, is a land populated by either green-skinned women or Nazis.
that was my favorite.

20. Does Idaho exist
No. The existence of Idaho is a lie, fabricated by a conspiracy of cartographers, as is England (see question 10).

21. What about North Dakota?
That doesn't exist either.

22. Any other places which are believed to exist but really don't?
Yes, Australia.
Sorry Idaho, north dakota and aussies, you don't exist!

I bet those chemistry classes of yours also told you that the force that causes two masses to be attracted to eachother is gravity. And as the site clearly says, gravity is utter BS.


Alea, thanks for showing me the definitions of Animal Magnetism on those online dictionarys, but you do realize that those are both .com URLs? .com stands for commercial meaning that money is what controls them. Bet you can't guess who has all the money after selling all those round globes ^.^

Actually, Greg, the host, uses ESF as a pitching site for his hosting services, thus the online cash cow moves on.

That's irrelevant.. Just because the owner of Oktagone has ads on a site that he hosts for free, doesn't mean the site is intended for money-making. You think philanthropy.com, newspaper of the 'non-profit' world, makes money off the site? :p

.com doesn't mean that the site is designed to make money in any way.

Hey, wait a minute, that is not a real corner...
So? The equator of the spherical earthers is an imaginary line as well. Does this mean that their model does not have a northern and a southern hemisphere? You cannot count in imaginary numbers, but does that mean that they do not exist?


Okay that's enough of this stupidity....Everyone go to one of the earth corners..
