threemonkeysSomething that has always bugged me. Not injustice or bigotry level bugged but ignorance and stupidity level bugging. For example, I draw your attention to this Non Sequitur cartoon. Just why is it that so many (USA) Americans think that if you go through the centre of the Earth you will end up in China. Perhaps not all Americans - just all the ones who use the "through the Earth" metaphor in the media. Both North American and China are in the northern hemisphere. Just how do they think that works?!
Most of you reading here are from the southern hemisphere anyway. You are probably used to this level of ignorance from the rest of the world. Those of you from the north are SF fans and therefore probably know what shape the planet is. I'm just curious where this piece of bugging came from and why it won't go away.
