Brockville Police say a heated discussion about the shape of the Earth led to the fire department being called in.
Police say they were called to St. Lawrence Park around 10:30 Monday, after a family had been involved in a full fledged argument. Apparently a woman was insisting the earth was flat and her boyfriend's father was arguing it is round.
Police say the 56-year-old man became so angry he started to throw things into their camp fire, including a propane cylinder. Brockville Fire was called in to put out the blaze and at some point the man left the scene.
Police say they are now looking for him in order to charge him with mischief.
Investigators say "neither party would change their views."
Actually, I’m an obese fatoid.
Ha. Yeah, me too. I'm working on losing weight. Finally got a calorie counter app that's really helping me realize that, while I don't always eat a lot in my own eyes, it's the little crap that adds up. I haven't really had to deprive myself of anything, just make different choices at times. Some days, it's actually really hard to eat all the calories I'm supposed to after making really good choices during the day.
Those crazy Canucks. The McKenzie brothers need to come back to SNL to do a riff on this.
I don't see the problem... A disc would do that fine!

They were also overhead earlier shouting....
“TASTES GREAT!”
“LESS FILLING!”
Exactly. Those Nazi UFO's have to come from somewhere. I just don't believe they want to make the commute from their moonbase.
Suggest this female acquaint herself w/Ferdinand Magellan.
Beyond stupid.
Thank You! At last a voice of reason! ;)
Some people get extremely angry when told the earth is flat.
You would think they would just laugh it off and say “you are crazy”.
I will take Gods word for it. The earth is fixed, unmoveable.
The sun, stars and moon revolve it.
The movie Idiocracy is becoming more and more a documentary every day.
I read once that a schoolteacher in Kentucky in the 1920s was fired for teaching her pupils that the earth is round—because the Bible refers to the “four corners of the earth” (so it must be flat).
