The Earth has a larger diameter at the equator, than from pole to pole. This is due to the Earth's rotation, i.e., what is sometimes called the "centrifugal force".
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
