straight edge: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

I grabbed one of the guys and tried to hold him up to the horizon. He was furious fighting me and at the end I gave up and released him.

Do you have any other prove for a flat earth? Even if you get a small guy, it's difficult to hold them up to the horizon, they just won't stay level.

How long is a "straightedge" (yes, sometimes orthography matters)? 30 centimetres? May be 50 centimetres?

Now tell me:
What is the angular size of a straightedge, held at arm length, at the horizon?
How many kilometres or what part of the circumference of earth does that represent at the horizon?
What's the height of the resulting circular segment?
Should you be able to see it?

I hope you can do some simple trigonometry (but I guess "no" - otherwise you wouldn't be a flattard).

The onus of proof is on you, and use a meter rule as close to you eye as possible, that way you'll take in hundreds of miles.
Go!! lol

Sorry to tell you that I don't have to prove anything, since I didn't make any claims in my post above. I just asked some questions that, as expected, up to now no flattard has answered.
