    Yep, I kind of forgot about that.
    Now I'm trying to visualize how lines would converge with north to south curved or not?

    About ten to fifteen years back I remember there was a young girl who sailed around the world down at the south pole. I can't remember is she made it all the way, seems like she ran into trouble is that area between Argentina and Antarctica.

    The problem might be the squaring of the circle.

    Since the world is flat you should be able to look up and see Polaris in your northern sky.

    Sometimes called the North star, but I'll bet Aussies can't see it, just like I can't see the Southern Cross from my perch on this flat spot at roughly 44 degrees North latitude.

    I was recently in Machu Picchu, but was not aware that I could have looked for myself.

    I think we are able to "flatout" say that we don't know what the map looks like. The Mercator map sucks balls. The UN map isn't correct. It's almost like it is deliberate.
