The yentas on “The View” scare the living crap out of me. I don’t care that they get a national forum for their idiotic views because no one actually listens to them. Of course they have provided some hilarious moments over the years. The Rosie-Young One smackdown — timeless, priceless and worth the price of admission. And by that I mean having to endure some yentering beforehand.

But this latest outburst is just downright scary. Last week, this panel of Rhodes Scholars and biology experts were discussing evolution. Because the fact that they all hold PhDs in evolutionary biology, makes them qualified to discuss this topic. Oh wait, they don’t.

Anyway, onward to the idiocy.
Then, Whoopi asks the immortal question:
Is the world flat?

This came after the debate about evolution passed over into whether or not this Sherry Sheppard person believes in science. Is the world flat? They decided this like what, about 500+ years ago.

Anyway, Ms. Sheppard, I mean professor emeritus of evolutionary biology answers the question:

All right, all right, I picked a photo with her face all screwed up. Here she is answering this difficult and probing question:

Her answer ladies and gentlemen:
I don’t know. I’ve never thought about it, but I do think about how to feed my child and whatever, some other crap not worth remembering.

Here she is with this smug look on her face, not realizing probably that her “response” will be ridiculed on every major TV show for the next week and will forever be immortalized on these here internets.

Now the smug look on her face when she closes her dissertation with the conclusion that if her son asks her “is the world flat?” she’ll have to go to library. I’m cringing just writing this. Anyway, another stupid facial expression from well respected astrophysics authority Sherry Sheppard:

Oh, the pride. She’s thinking to herself “they will now doubt this newfangled theory about the earth’s roundness. Where does one even find evidence of such a thing?”

Needless to say, I could go off on noted Big Bang expert Sherry Sheppard (who will now forever be known for not knowing whether or not the world is flat and probably nothing else) about her absolute ignorance and stupidity. Is the world flat, the yentas asked and she responded with whatever that crap was she responded with. Sure, flat earth theory is a byword for something that has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be untrue, but whatever, is the world flat? Ms. Sheppard doesn’t know and frankly does not occupy her time with such trifles.

Well, Sherry Sheppard, I’m going to do you a favor. Me, a humble blogger among many other bloggers. What for the accumulation of knowledge when one cannot share it with world. Yeah and ok, I wanted to post my photos of the sky over the Sweden and Denmark, but why not get a two-fer. The rest of the world who for some reason think the world is round get to enjoy the photos and Sherry Sheppard is about to be startled beyond belief. Careful, information is power.

Here we go:

You see that curving off in the distance? Could it be… Oh my god, the earth, no it can’t be! No! What am I going to tell my son, Ms. Sheppard thinks to herself.

But, no more evidence I must present Sherry Sheppard:

Why is she torturing me with this, Sherry Sheppard thinks to herself. Well, people didn’t believe this other radical theory (for the 15th century) that the center of the solar system was in fact the sun. I mean people thought Copernicus was wrong. Until they came for their senses, in the 16th and 17th century. But this caused many people a lot of pain, so sometimes assimilating new ideas can be very traumatic.

Eh, onward with the ridicule:

Looks round to me. More evidence you say. Ok, here goes:

THE WORLD IS NOT FLAT, SHERRY SHEPPARD YOU IGNORAMUS. NOT FLAT. THEY DECIDED THIS IN THE 15TH CENTURY. THE GUY NAMED COLUMBUS SAILED AROUND THE WORLD AND PROVED BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT A “THEORY” GOING BACK SEVERAL CENTURIES THAT THE WORLD. IS. NOT. FLAT.

Listen Sherry, I’m not saying that you fly to Sweden from Denmark and see the curvature of the earth. I’m not even saying that you need to buy a globe or even type the words “flat earth” into the internets. All you have to do is ask the guy who makes your latte in the morning “is the world flat.” The force of the laughter of all the people in the place will propel you so far upward that you will see that the earth, once and for all, is a sphere. Of course the guy slinging the latte could just say “the world is round.” And then he’d go into the back of the place and start laughing extremely loudly, saving you the trip to space.

Ignoramus. Save her from herself, someone. No wait, she keeps making these stupid statements and we all benefit and I can keep posting these photos. Keep on keeping on with your theory about the world Sherry Sheppard. All the people at the mental ward will soon follow what you are saying. I promise.
