They used to think that the world was flat. Well perhaps not flat but more like a cube. Or did they really think it was one big long flat piece of carpet, mountains and hills jutting right out?
I’m going off course here.
How do we know that the images we are fed from ‘The Governers’ aren’t false?
As far as i can see (just to the horizon) it looks like that could be an edge and not a rounded corner.
I’d like to think this is true. If the world is a cube then a few problems could be sorted. Put different types of people on each side. Don’t have planes that go to the side with the bad people and politicians on and Presto! they can’t get out…. a boat can’t sail over a corner, right?
Ah now you’re going to use my ‘a boat can’t sail round a corner’ against me aren’t you? But THEN, what if the world as we know it is just one side of the cuboid world? There’s more sides that we don’t know about…haven’t been told about?
Would all the sides be very different? Would some have an East and West Pole and not North/South?
Well, now you think i’m mad don’t you? What a way to introduce myself and introduce you to some of the things that go on in my jelly head.
Just don’t get me started on that cardboard cut-out that they call ‘The Moon’.
Gosh, you seem like a very together lady, I should introduce you to my man Jeeves sometime, he’d get on well with you, he knows everything.
Pip Pip!
I would just like to say I’ve never had a jellybaby before.
Sour Patch Kids, though, I devour whole
Reepicheep managed to go over the horizon in his coracle – why shouldn’t we all?
Jeeves is a top chap old girl, I showed him your blog and he nodded thoughtfully at the idea of the world being square and said “Indeed, ma’am”
Reepicheep is the little mouse in The Voyage of the Dawntreader. He is a fearsomely brave wee thing and it makes me cry every time he goes over the edge of the world.
‘Then he bade them goodbye, trying to be sad for their sakes, but he was quivering with happiness.’
Pink – but Martha used the word “wee” and that is always something to smile about!!
*giggles too*
It’s a kind of happy sadness when Reepicheep goes, if that makes you feel better. Plus, the children meet up with him again in the final book of the series. Although the implication is that they’re all dead at that point. Oh dear – I’m not helping matters, am I?
Basically, read the Narnia Chronicles and all will be explained
Jelly baby, what ho old girl, just ignore that and pretend he makes it, oh yes, I rewrite the endings to sad stories all the time. Why just last week I was rewriting the Lion King so Mufasa didn’t die. And don’t tell me its the circle of life, Jeeves already tried that reason, some people just don’t understand.
Where are those tissues!

I think the world is definitely square, well cuboid, actually. It’s all a big conspiracy, this round earth thing.
