the Earth is flat!

Yesterday's blog entry reminded me of one of my all-time favorite album covers - Point of Know Return by Kansas. Besides people getting used to the idea of our planet's place within a greater Universe only several hundred years ago, there was also the concept that the Earth is round... yes, round, like an orange or something. That must have been something to fathom when that idea was first posited - or even now: hmmm... if the Earth is round, then why aren't we leaning to the side, huh, tell me that! Why aren't the people in Australia upside down?

Ahhh... too much to process!

Anyway, the Point of Know Return album cover is a beautiful rendition of what people must have imagined the ends of the Earth looked like not all that long ago...
