You could do it the risky way, by sailing to the edge and hoping the current pulling water off the edge doesn't get you, too. I don't recommend this. The young men in my village (I live on an island close to the edge of the world) used to do this on dares, until we lost three young husbands and twelve manlings on an ill-fated drunken bet. There was such a shortage of men we had to dress some of the maids in armour and set them to the oars during our next raid, just to have enough people!
(Some people are so ignorant -- I'm still chortling. Next I bet your friend Eric Halfwit will tell you that thunder is created by something soft like clouds rather than by Thor's mighty hammer! Or that the sun is made of flaming air, rather than the shining Goddess Sol, fleeing across the sky from the wolf Skoll.)
The safer way to prove the earth is not round is by digging a hole deep enough that you come to the bottom of the earth, then you can stick your heads through and show him how the earth rests on the back of four giant elephants. The bottom of the earth has no hills or mountains, so it's easier to see its flatness, too.
Plus, how could it be a pig's bladder? Wouldn't it pop and fly out of its place in the center of the universe the first time somebody dug a well and punctured its surface? Hasn't Eric Halfwit thought of this yet?
This all shows that too much thinking is dangerous. We should be making babies and pillaging villages -- ideas like that may anger the gods and ruin next year's crops. . . in the villages we raid.

Well, first you need to find facts that it is flat, which i personally think its not, but i might be wrong. Another way is to find the edge of the earth and throw him off. But if your peaceful you could show him the edge of the earth and push him of with a bungee cord tied to his legs and tie it around something. That will definitely make him beleive that the earth is flat. Plus a pigs bladder is not round it is a irregular shape and so even if the earth is round its still not the shape of a pigs bladder.

Someone needs to convince you that the earth is ROUND, not FLAT.

for 1 the earth isnt flat, tell him if the world was flat as soon as you got to the end, you would feel the differene because you just flipped 180degrees.

Take the fool to the edge and push him over. That will teach him.
