Mad Mike Hughes dies

[Secular Elf]

Maybe he should have tried with digging because don't flat Earthers also believe that Earth is hollow? That would have been safer.

That ancient view of the world was a hand-me down from the Sumerians through the Assyrians and Babylonians to the Jews. The photos of Earth from the Apollo missions are very clear. The Flat-Earthers and Moon shot deniers wouldn't know what was fake if it bit them in the ass.

Hollywood made good use of this myth in the 1956 flick "The Mole People."  The beginning of the movie started with a short lecture by a professor who was not even a geologist.  I tried to find it but struck out.  Here is the trailer:

If you like old B movies like I do, this one is a cool one.  The only gripe I have with it is the Egyptian wall art in the palace, when the underground splinter culture was supposed to be Sumerian.

The RPG industry made use of the Earth being hollow concept, with the Dungeons & Dragons boxed campaign set of Hollow World, which I own along with some campaign modules that go with it.  The planet Mystara was hollow with continents and seas on the underside of the mantle, inhabited by cultures that went extinct on the outer surface of Mystara.  There were openings at the poles, and it received constant light from an internal sun.

There was also an anime, a Belgian-Japanese collaboration, called Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea.

He's have got a free burial, to boot. Win-Win!

Looking around the internet, I've noticed that there is a dearth of sympathy for this guy.

Speaking for myself, I find it hard to bemoan the deaths of self-destructive morons.  The death of Kobe Bryant was a tragedy.  The death of Hughes is a farce.

I know, feel the same way. It's like, "I don't care who you are, that shit is funny."
