Thousands of years ago (Vedic dark ages), some inhabitants of india believed that Earth is supported by a serpent (Arya texts), some believed that Earth was supported on a giant tortoise, and still some believed that Earth was carried by giant elepants, which in turn were balancing on the back of a huge turtle, which itself was perched on the top of a stupendous 1000-headed snake. There were other beliefs like the universe was orginated from the egg and the earth floats in the sea of wine(Alcoholics). See! What else is there to say? Its in the genes. Fuckwit.
