"I don't want a mathematical treatise on how to measure the radius of the earth. This is an encyclopedia, I expect to see a number. The radius of the earth from the centre to the equator is X. The radius of the earth from the centre to the poles is Y. Why can't some of you freakin rocket scientists do something straight forward and simple to answer the average person's question for a change? And no it doesn't have to be this way. And yes, you can provide a simple bloody answer. Everything isn't a shade of flippin grey. This is the problem with Wikipedia, you egg heads make it worthless to look for information. This is not a math course. It is an encyclopedia. Please provide information that is understandable. For God's sake."

Fix it if is broken. Or whine. Your choice. I might as well whine about people who think the world should be arranged to suit their own personal, simplistic ways of thinking and, instead of helping, throw abusive tantrums when they don’t get exactly what the want… for free, even. And, Happy Holidays.

The radius of Earth at the equator is 3,963 miles (6,378 kilometers), according to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. However, Earth is not quite a sphere. The planet's rotation causes it to bulge at the equator.

Glad to hear that! It was on its last legs about 3 months ago, the front page had threads a week old! Glad all that's changed.

You might look at the list of topics on the current front page of MC. Not exactly anything to brag about.

I just looked. They encompass a day. Whereas Tinychan's span more than a week. In rough terms I'd say this place is about 7 or 8 times more active than Tinychan. It must be due to their policy of forcing everyone out :)

You're suggesting Tinychan opts for quality over quantity?
