I always assumed that the Flat Earth Society was people having fun (tongue in cheek style). And then there's the Tiddlywinks club and the Duodecimal society. Oh, don't forget the Philadephia Procrastinators -- I'm not sure if you can call them a club, because they have not yet gotten around to naming themselves.
Does anyone think they can actually prove that the earth is spherical?
Well, of course it is not spherical.
Topologically, it is a sphere with handles. And every time a new clover-leaf highway interchange is built, we add more handles. There are also natural handles (natural bridges, caves with multiple openings).
Geometrically, it is not a sphere -- there are too many hills and valleys for that.
