Of all the conspiracy theories out there the flat earth bunch are my favourite. Even if there was no scientific way of disproving them, no space travel etc etc why would anyone bother to cover up that we live on a non-spherical planet. Apparently the answer is something to do with at the very edges in the frozen wastes there are secret heavily guarded places where the global elites all hang out. Seems entirely logical to me that rather than enjoy beautiful beaches or alpine scenery the planets rulers would seek some kind of chintzy Siberian exile.
