And now, in yet another bombshell set to rock your world, we're learning that the earth is not round - or flat - but shaped like a doughnut.
The latest theory comes courtesy of an ex-Flat Earther whose technique seems to be "Well, try and prove me wrong. I dare you."
"I was wondering how a theory like FE theory gets formed, and I came to the conclusion that someone must've thought of the original idea," Flat Earth Society member Varaug wrote in a forum called "Donut-Shaped Earth".
"And then it must've been followed by a long series of people pointing out flaws and then re-adjusting the theory (or thinking of new ideas) to iron out the flaws in the theory.
"I thought it might be fun if we emulated that here."
Varaug went on to explain that he believes that "Earth is in fact shaped like a torus (a donut shape)" but because "light is curved... we cannot tell."
It wasn't long before the non-believers started questioning Varaug's obviously sound theory with such ridiculous questions as "Why has the hole in the centre of the torus not been discovered?", "How does the light curve" and "Why can't I see the opposite side of the torus".
Of ye of little faith.
Luckily, there was an answer for every question.
"Light bends and follows the curvature of the torus, making the hole 'unseeable'," Varaug replied to the first question.
"Light waves... are reflected by the atmosphere," he answered the second. "When we look across, the light diminishes as it travels and by the time it reaches the atmosphere, it is diminished enough to be reflected.
"The light will then hit another corner of atmosphere and so on and so forth, curving every time. This gives the impression that the Earth is flat (or has a slight curvature)."
Following? Great.
To the third question, Varaug said: "When you stand in the middle of the [Torus Earth] and look up, the light passes through the first atmosphere it reaches. However, by the time it reaches the second atmosphere, it has diminished enough to be reflected, and gets reflected into space, so you see space."
Right, we think that's just about enough for one day, thank you very much.

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs. "There are a lot of people and things I could have eradicated from my life in this way."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
