"The inhabitants of Sphereland are supposed to have bodies composed entirely of
spheres! How preposterous! Supposed experts in computer graphics claim to have
photographs to prove it. Sensible folk will no doubt give little credence to the
remarks of the graphics fraternity. By and large they spend too many hours in
front of computer terminals or toying with juggling balls. Perhaps work induced
hallucinations are playing havoc with the minds of what has the potential to be a
respectable community.

According to certain rumour mongering academics, Sphereland consists of an
infinite plane (Some practitioners believe this ground plane has a checkerboard
pattern superimposed upon it.) upon which most Spherelanders live their entire
lives. Other so called intellectuals have stated that they have seen
Spherelanders levitating above the ground plane! Who do they think they're
fooling?! Sphereland is claimed most frequently to have one Sun, an invisible
point light source whose existence may only be inferred from the presence of
specular highlights and shadows.

Unless these computer graphics professionals can produce some evidence, they
ought to be kept safely in an asylum! To think our taxes are at work providing
them with a haven in  which to practice their Tom-foolery!"
