    NOW we KNOW it can't be 'hollow' ... but 100 years ago they
    didn't. They imagined cool solid rock all the way down. It's what
    they SAW ... ergo it HAD to be the condition of the whole planet.

    Teed's hollow earth was a little different.

    And let's not forget the flat Earth theory, which still exists in this
    age of photos from space showing a blue ball of rock hanging in the
    void. There's even a Flat Earth Society, which claimed on its web site
    some years back that "The Flat Earth Society has members all over the
    globe..." Yeah, the Earth is flat, like their heads!
