The water that falls off the edge is sucked up into the sky by the vortex caused by the universe orbiting the earth at immense speed.
How do you think it rains?

But why does it get sucked up downwards?
So, seeing as the world is flat, if I dig a really deep hole, where will end up?
Dear god, give me strength to resist the ignorance in this thread!
When the water falls off the end of the earth, it goes outside the atmosphere, where the sun is. The sun is hot, and turns the water to steam, which then rises and becomes clouds.
Crikey, this is Meteorology 101.
Look how much water flows from rivers into the sea, yet does the level of the sea ever go up?
Idiot scientists will tell you that the water evaporates from the oceans, but have you ever seen steam rising from a kettle? It looks like clouds. Hold a mirror above a kettle and it gets steam on it.
Have you ever seen the sea steaming?
"Have you ever seen the sea steaming?"
I think I have, actually, but I might be confusing the memory with something else.
Still, thanks for the explanation.
Oh! Does the Earth have a centre? If so, is it still Jerusalem? Do the seas flow directly away from the centre to the edge or...?
I'm the centre of the Earth. didnt they teach that to you in college? :p
ah yes the good old weather cycle! Gotta love the steamy haze at the edge of the earth were the water reaches and evaporates into clouds!
So wait, I've been working on this hole I'm digging to China. When I break through the last dirt with my little shovel, am I just going to fall into a black abyss instead of coming out in a foreign country?!
No you will just end up on the other side of the earth. With the small town of people with backwards faces called lakjd;flkjadlgja;lkh;lkjg;laks;lj's. Man people are stupid. All these questions! Isn't it obvious enough just to walk outside? Anyone can see that its flat out there. DUH!!!!!!
Thank you Jesus for this purity and wisdom that you have thrust upon me.:Angel_anim:
Do not, under any circumstances listen to kevin, the aptly-named dilz on this.
Your first premise is quite correct - you would fall out of the hole into The Abyss and it ain't pretty down there. There isn't any air, either. I think kevin's trying to do you harm!
Bottom of the world, my foot.
Even the charlatan priests of science won't attempt to defraud the public with claims of tunnelling "through" the earth.
Scientists claim to have sent robots to Mars.
They absurdly claim men have walked on the moon.
They claim one of their rockets has passed Saturn.
They claim to have seen the very bottom of the sea, some 10,000 metres down.
But not even a scientist will claim to have tunelled deeper than 4000 metres, because they know damned well they'd be falling out the bottom!
If anyone digs such a hole, then all of the Earth's atmosphere would drain out. This was what the villain was working on in Ian Fleming's unfinished James Bond book Doom Drill.
I only tried to kill you because you are a non believer that obviously has no faith whatsoever and obviously is no where near as smart as I am... ;)
We can still be friends if you admit that I am right and come to the dar- er.... christian side. :)
YOU'RE ALL STUPID!!!!!!!!!!
OK, granted the Earth is flat. But what shape is it?
People talk of going to the "ends of the earth", which would suggest it has at least two ends, like a corridoor, or a fish, Then again what of the "four corners of the world", that would suggest a rectangle or square, or there are those who refer to going "around" the world, suggesting a disk.
All the World's a stage! The World is his oyster! What's it all mean?
There are lots of different shapes for stages, prendlm - there's the proscenium arch kind with curtains and footlights - that would explain night and day and the stars, I suppose.
Then there's the Apron stage - which would suggest that life is nothing but hard work.
There's the Open Air stage - that would be relevant to most of the world, however you looked at it.
There's the Arena stage - in the round, quite a contender, don't you think?
Then there's the RSC's favourite, the Tongue stage - I think perhaps I don't want to go there...
btw - I thought the Silly Season was in August - has it come early this year? I blame climate change, myself.
But would I just go straight through the bottom?
The earth can't be entirely flat though, it'd have to be some sort of prism, otherwisse my epically large hole that I plan on digging won't work.
Although it can't be a sphere... Just because.
I still blame the twits in the middle ages for just rebeling against religion. A whole heap of bibles say its round. That had already been proven.
The industrial revolution knocked a little sense into us, but hardly enough.
Can I change my mind and say it is round?
last time i checked a rectangle was classed as a shape... :p
Yay! I think the earth is shapely!
Ha! Take that science vs religion.
Does that make me one of those politicians that just minces their words to sound smart and keep the peace even though they don't know the real answer?
I think that the earth must be able to morph its shape, therefore people see it as different shapes and it just happens to be luck if you see the same shape twice. This would cover the basis that the world has four corners, is round but flat, and has ends. On top of this, it would back up several artistic interpretations of the world. And, you know it make sense when you think about it.
you know what thats a really good point Ara!
I was due one, but it also covers all bases!
Oh man... how dumb you all are. Dumb Dumb Dumb!
This is what earth looks like.

LOL well at least I know my science teacher really is crazy...wait till I tell him...
This is still good, almost half a decade later.
