The Flat Earth Society is a website and online forum which promotes the idea that the earth is flat, and that this fact is being covered up in a huge global conspiracy. There is much speculation that the site is actually an example of Poe's Law at work. Because of Poe's Law the first question asked on the FAQ of their Wiki is "Is this site a joke?" to which it responds "This site is not a joke. We are actively promoting the Flat Earth Movement worldwide. There are, admittedly, several non-serious flat earth posters, but they are fairly easy to identify." Other comical questions include, "What evidence do you have?" to which they respond that the earth looks flat. It was probably founded because someone wanted to capitalize on the revenue that comes from selling t-shirts and mugs to a mass of misguided people.
