Jerome, there's a reason that you've been banned from some forums. It's your incessant trolling. Your low standards for your arguments and impossibly high standards for counterarguments.

For my part, I wish to note that there is a simple low-tech way of finding the shape of the Earth. Look at eclipses of the Moon. No matter where the Moon is in the sky, the Earth's shadow on it is approximately circular. This means that the Earth is approximately spherical.
