From the link on page one:
If no one told you the Earth was round, what shape would you think it is?

That’s what two Penticton men plan to ask people across Canada on a trip that hopes to "find truth" about the shape of the Earth.

Good a reason as any to strike up a conversation while travelling. I guess. Maybe.

Maybe not.

Oh, OK. It would have been helpful if the link was in the original OP.

Two people with a social science experiment to see how naive the the general population really is. They should have great success considering the general population just bought into sunny ways in overwhelming numbers as well.

The earth is round, the universe is round, the retina is flat but biased by the curvature of the cornea. Once the eye is flattened it revealed the true shape of everything, flat. So, everything is round only because they look that way. If you poke yourself in the eye you'll begin to see reality.

Which is clearly what Johnny Nash meant when he sang, "I can see clearly now that the pain is gone." :D
