Anyone seen Bill Bailey? He's a British comedian. Well, he was joking about conspiracy theories, and he came up with a few funny ones. I can't remember all of them, but I do remember one. It was about the countries not really looking like as they appear on maps and globes, and it being a Government conspiracy to make travel and communications money apparently the cartographers are in on it too.....you can walk to Russia from here!
Um, well there is alot of speculation. There may even be another earth on the opposite side of sun, protected by a cloaking device and unseen by natural eyes and telescopes... This could be where the 911 passengers live now.. With no contact from old earth dwellers.. you know its a new age dont you??
maps wouldn't be very useful. he's probably just got "big country" envy, being from a postage stamp. he can't possibly believe that america is actually so much bigger.
