Results of another Google vote:

"Earth is flat":	
		55,100,000 hits
"Earth is round":
		53,600,000 hits

Take that, Galileo, Columbus and Magellan!*

Of course, this post of mine is utterly irrelevant, just like all my
other posts.  Just emphasizing that majority is not always right. 

*The vote is close enough to trigger an automatic recount, but Vatican
has already declared victory and called on its opponents to concede so
that the healing process may begin.
