    An airplane. As a kid I always wanted to fly, but my unaided eyesight wasn't good enough and the Air Force won't allow pilots to wear eyeglasses. I hadn't the funds to learn to fly any other way.

    You could use a bulldozer to help make the Flat Earth concept a reality.

    Oh right, I could dump the excess dirt over the edge.  Good thinking.

    Since the Earth is flat everything will just fall over the edge and fall down into space. In fact if you drill deep enough you might come out the bottom side of the Earth and fall in never to be seen again.  :  (

    That's a pretty cool looking ship. Bet it is twice as fast as a regular destroyer. Cheers!

    I'll go check it out... Officially...30 knots. Yeah, right. Years ago, I calculated the speed of one of our nuclear missile subs. It was more than twice as fast as the published speed.
