For godsake FEers… Go east from LA to Tokyo. What's that, about 19-20000 miles? Now fly west from LA to Honolulu. What's that, about 2600 miles? So if the earth is flat, Tokyo and Honolulu are 21-22000 miles apart. In reality, they're not quite 4000. How could that be without the earth being round? Jeez you people piss me off. Just call me pissedoffanon.
It was a hypothetical. I know you wouldn't go east to get from LA to Tokyo, but for purposes of illustration, if you went east one direction and west in another the eastern most point and the western most point would be far far away from each other, not closer UNLESS THE FRIGGIN WORLD WAS ROUND.
