If it was round how come us guys at the bottom don't fall off. Stupid scientists!

Yes. I am amazed and appalled at the amount of anti-science sentiment displayed in this thread. This is the same science that has given us modern medicine, electronics, physics, geology, materials science (CCD's and CMOS) and all the other wonders of modern life.
Real science is not done in the popular press - it is done in peer reviewed science journals where the data is available to be checked and tested by others.
