Saw this guy on Tosh.0 years ago. Wasn't he claiming to be attempting to prove flat earth theory by going up to get his own pictures or something?

Just like Wiley Coyote when he used to fuck up as well.
I wonder if old boy was wearing a motorcycle helmet on that one? Probably came off the body with his head still in it on impact. Just sayin'. |

In the first 4 minutes of that documentary, he says "I really don't believe in science..."
Unfortunately, it exists even if he doesn't believe in it, as seen in his experiment. |
