Have you ever tried catching fish in a barrel?? Not an easy thing, my friend. Now, shooting fish in a barrel, well that's an entirely different matter. It's as easy as pie! :)


Oh, and by the way it's "oblate spheroid" not "oblate sphere." If it's oblate it's not a sphere.
lol if the fish are hungry enough they will take the bait placed in the barrel,

something that is a spheroid is a sphere shape that is what the spher part of the word means.

Sphe roid
ˈsfirˌoid/
noun


  • a spherelike but not perfectly spherical body.


    • a solid generated by a half-revolution of an ellipse about its major axis ( prolate spheroid ) or minor axis ( oblate spheroid).

      so actually you only mentioned one part of the sphere, see above.

It has been brought to my attention that the earth is flatter than a pancake.
