If I hear/see one more person use the phrase "for a long time everybody thought the earth was flat" (or variants thereon) as a keystone of their argument in a debate, I won't be held responsible for the consequences.
For a long time people thought that the earth was the centre of the universe and the sun went around the earth. Which I find invalidates your earth is flat argument for stabbing people. Say..what are you holding there? It looks metallic and sharp!
