bingo! earth proven to be flat with 2 Wikipedia entries
Oh... wow, wow, wow! Bingo...! Genius...!
Magnificent discovery...
I just found out that CIA-controlled Wikipedia itself cannot hide the flat-earth as far as (all) lighthouses.
Take this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planier_Light
Range 23 nautical miles (43 km; 26 mi)
... but if you put two and two together, you get:

Let us imagine a boat where someone is standing 2 meters above the water, and looking at a lighthouse that is 66-meter tall. How far away will he be able to see it?
Well, the calculator, and all Pythagorean formulas, say "34 kilometers". Yet Wikipedia asserts that sailors will be able to see it as far as 43 km.
So, according to Wikipedia, we will be able to see this lighthouse (and it's the same for the other lighthouses), despite the fact that it will be beyond the horizon, as calculated by Wikipedia's formulas.
So which one is it? They cannot both co-exist. Well, Wikipedia doesn't always lie. In this case, they are not lying about the lighthouse, but they are lying about the curvature formulas, for the simple fact that there is no curvature, as the earth is flat.
Furthermore, since no one wants to be sued, I am sure lighthouse authorities will provide values on the safe side, rounded down by a whole lot. However, even these cautious values are telling us that the earth is flat.
This fact itself destroys the argument of refraction, because lighthouse authorities, just as they will be cautious on providing range estimates, will also certainly not be relying on "mirages" and "refraction" for their lighthouses to be seen by sailors! Just imagine: "If you are lucky and there's refraction, you will see a mirage of the lighthouse as far as 43 km away... otherwise you'll just have to crash against the rocks".
So, the conclusion is that lighthouses provide conservative values regarding the range at which the lighthouse will be seen and
without relying on any sort of "refraction" (imaginary phenomenon anyway, used to explain away other discrepancies). And these very lighthouses ranges, as listed by wikipedia, are the perfect proof that there is no earth curvature. Face it, we cannot even hypothesize that all the lighthouses are providing faulty ranges (therefore there is no curvature):

In my opinion, this is the simplest and best argument to date, because it totally uses the establishment's sources (the shills at wikipedia). In other words, Wikipedia pages on lighthouses all prove that the earth is flat, when compared to more shills, either at wikipedia or elsewhere:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon#Curvature_of_the_horizon
The Horizon curves by: sqrt(radius^2 + distance^2)-radius, equivalent to distance^2/R*2. At 100 km, it descends 784m.
Bingo! Earth proven to be flat with 2 Wikipedia entries (curvature formula, and lighthouse).
Now it will be useless to show this to anyone, because these guys are so in denial, that, like my physicist cousin, they might tell me that the earth's radius is wrong by a thousand kilometers.
They will say this invalidates my formulas, and, since I cannot measure the real radius of the earth, it is game over. I guess they will do anything... like they say in the Matrix, "they will fight to protect it":
The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds we are trying to save. Until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many are so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
