When you're a sprinter, you hope that your world is flat...

Well, they probably decided to keep it PG. Those of us familiar, know where to add them.

If the world was flat, cats would have knocked everything off the edge long ago

“It’s true. The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. Yeah, it is. Yes, it is. Listen, there are three ways to manipulate the mind — what you read, what you see and what you hear. In school, first thing they teach us is, ‘Oh, Columbus discovered America,’ but when he got there, there were some fair-skinned people with the long hair smoking on the peace pipes. So, what does that tell you? Columbus didn’t discover America. So, listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this (expletive) is flat to me. I’m just saying. I drive from Florida to California all the time, and it’s flat to me. I do not go up and down at a 360-degree angle, and all that stuff about gravity, have you looked outside Atlanta lately and seen all these buildings? You mean to tell me that China is under us? China is under us? It’s not. The world is flat.” - Shaquille O’Neal

There is evidence however of Nordic (Vikings) settlements in Canada before Columbus times. Whether they were lighting it up and exactly what they were smoking if so is an entirely different matter.
Some crossed the pond long before Columbus did, and others walked here. Seems they all did it on a big flat surface, according to Kanye and Shaq!

Actually, I stand corrected... Shaq wasn’t responding to Kanye, but to Kyrie (Irving). My bad...

Did further goo-search, and yes, Kanye is listed among flat-earth celebrities...
But, back to the main topic. If Sagan states the earth is flat then IT IS flat!

Says the fake impression of a cyclist that can ride up 20% mountains faster than many of us ride in the valleys.
