The earth is flat, space isn’t real

Abraham Lincoln is on record talking about a species of extinct giants buried in America.

Decades later the Smithsonian was given sole rights to excavate the skeletons by congress.
"The eyes of that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now." -Abraham Lincoln, 1848

Lincoln was so matter of fact about it, likely because it was a general known fact at that time that there were giant skeletons buried across the country. In 1881, Congress gave sole excavation rights of these mounds to the Smithsonian and gave them thousands of tax payer dollars to do so more than once. Some of their findings were made public in their Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution for years 1873, 1875, and 1877. They found skulls measuring 36" in circumference, skeletons belonging to "gigantic savages," and so on.

Here is the Annual Report from the Smithsonian

And here is a link to the congressional record showing that they did in fact pass this in a bill and give tax payer funding to dig them up. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...pt3-v11-12.pdf

Nevermind. The Earth isn't flat at all:

I still want to see a flat earther explain why great circle navigation routes result in fewer miles traveled. One of the more serious folks of that persuasion ought to have given that problem some thought.
