US President Believes Earth Is Flat

Posted by Michel Morvan on

It could have been Donald Trump , but no, it's not him (at least not yet...)! During Donald Trump's term, however, we were able to discover, or rediscover, that a president of the United States is not chosen based on his scientific skills . Nor even on his ability to listen to scientists.

But this is not new!

Andrew Jackson , who was President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, was convinced that the Earth was flat . That doesn't stop him from having his image on every $20 bill today!

In Thomas Segal's Encyclopedia of the Useless , you can learn this, but also, in bulk:

  • that General de Gaulle was not a general, but a colonel ;
  • that you can't sneeze with your eyes open ;
  • that you know Barbra Millicent Roberts very well, but you don't know it;
  • which Roman emperor was named after his sandals ;
  • that elephants walk on tiptoe ;

...and thousands of other things!
