Is the earth flat?

A 56-year-old Brockville man is being sought by police after a discussion about the shape of the earth got out of hand at a campsite Monday night.

The man began throwing items, including a propane tank, into a campfire after a discussion with his son's girlfriend got heated.

Police say the woman insisted the earth is flat while the man countered that it was round.

Brockville police and firefighters were called to St. Lawrence Park at about 10:30 p.m. after the man began throwing the items onto the campfire.

The man left the area by the time police arrived and firefighters doused the campfire.
