Dear doubters, B.o.B wants to prove the Earth is flat once and for all – Trending Stuff

(CNN)Last year, rapper B.o.B. used Twitter to jump on the ‘flat Earth’ bandwagon, and it seems like he has been riding it ever since.

Earth’s curve is a big contention for flat Earthers, who argue that when the earth was round, the “curve” would be more visible to the earthbound human eye.

B.o.B.’s campaign says the strategy is to “launch multiple satellites into space” to be able to observe, and try to disprove, what centuries of science and technology have already supported. All he needs is a small investment of $200,000 dollars (and establish approval, of course).

He’s titled his assignment “Show BoB The Curve.” By Monday afternoon it had racked up $255 and 105 stocks on Facebook.

Over the past couple of years, the works of Aristotle and Galileo have come up against armchair astronomers who think, like actually think, the Earth is flat.

And endorsements by big-name celebrities like Kyrie Irving, Tila Tequila and Sammy Watkins keep nudging flat Earthers out of the shadows.

Between their Facebook and Twitter accounts, the Flat Earth Society has over 100,000 followers — although a good portion of them appear to be there to poke fun at the entire thing.
