Another hearing has been called. Please specify your witch, phoebe, disease victim, whatever in your votes somehow. Also, would someone please propose an amendment to the hearing rule that allows the initiator to establish the start of the hearing? The acking of the hearing calls by me seems sort of silly.

You can call me Al left the game before the results were posted, so nothing happened.

The Earth is definitely round. The Earth is demonstrably round, being a hemisphere; half of the roundest object known to Ackakind. Moreover, there was never a time in the history of Ackanomic, so far as I can tell, when the Earth was not round. Even when the Earth was flat, it was still round, inasmuch as it was a disk, with the two-dimensional roundness implied therein. I'm surprised no one has noticed this before, aside from my revered and respected mentor Calvin N Hobbes.
