It has come to my attention that the world much like my belly is Round. This being an established fact one has to ask themselves (go ahead and ask) why Round? Why not Oblong? Why not Square or Rectangle? I have a few answers for you. 1. Come on Really? Just think how stupid our World would look and all the other Planets would make fun of it. 2.If it was Square or Rectangle it could cut a friendly Alien as they attempt to land and visit our planet. 2. If it were an Oblong it would probably screw up our seasons and we in Minnesota may never have a Summer again.  Sure there are many fancy scientific explanations as to why the World is Round but I do go back to my original Fact. It would just look silly and if there is one thing I don't want to be it's silly.
