So when will HE get around to make it a sphere? Currently it is an oblate spheroid. The diameter is some 30 miles greater at the Equator than at the poles.
A famous astronomer, after a lecture, was told by an elderly lady that his cosmology was wrong: the earth is flat and rests on the back of a giant turtle. When the astronomer asked what the turtle stands on, she replied “You can’t fool me – it’s turtles all the way down”.
“When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together.” —Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), American science-fiction writer

I suggest it be fat in the middle and flatter on the top and bottom with it so cold no one would want to go there.
