Police, firefighters called in after flat Earth debate turns heated

[UrbScotty]

A family argument over whether the Earth is flat or round became so heated that one of the participants threw a propane cylinder onto a campfire, prompting an intervention by firefighters.

The dispute over a question most considered resolved centuries ago boiled over around 10:30 p.m. Monday at St. Lawrence Park in Brockville, Ont.

Police said a 56-year-old Brockville man was at a campsite with his son and his son's girlfriend when the woman began insisting that the Earth is flat.

The older man insisted the Earth is round.

1. I can't believe people still think

the Earth is round. My astrologer says that most of those people are Tauruses.

3. The violent ones were summarily cast off the edge of the planet.
