The earth isn't round, it's oval. It's rotaton casuses it to be a little wider in the middle.

Of course the earth isn't round, it's a geoid (prox. ellipsoid). It's not oval due to isostasy.
Anyway I appreciate the correction. Thank you.

But if you allow this old geologist some poetry, let it be round for a while !

Well, you didn't say it was perfectly round so your statement wasn't actually incorrect. I was just trying to be funny. So round it is.

geoid: What does this mean? is it something like saying "I look like me"?
isostasy: What does this mean?
