that's an interesting question you asked twice there, buddy.
perpindicular is like a capital T. Is the top of the T or the tall skinny tree trunk part what you're describing as the earth? Their both flat, though. Is the earth shaped like a T? ummm...
but you would deny all the photographic evidence for the spherical aspect of our home planet??? okay, galileo, let's look at shadows from the sun. If the earth was flat, we'd have a lot of trouble explaining how the shadows move, for one. Other clues might be the way the horizon seems to drop off no matter how you travel towards it... haven't really looked for ways of proving it myself, actually, now that I think about it.
WHY????? Are you going to jump off the edge if it IS flat? what are you going to do with the information?

I thought that the days of the 'flat-earthers' were long since gone! And how can the earth be 'perpendicular'? Perpendicular is surely a direction not a shape!!

Well there is a society called the Society of the Flat Earth, you could ask them, they are the experts:

The Earth is spherical.

It's flat if you're jumping off of it. Do us a favor.

Neither, but a tangent runs perpendicular to its curve.

In either case, I have to go now and get back to it.
