From wikipedia:
"In order to be eligible to apply for an MD degree from a UK or Commonwealth University one must hold either an MBBS, MBChB, or an equivalent US-MD degree and must usually have at least 5-years of postgraduate experience. Therefore graduates from the MBBS or MBChB degrees do not hold doctorates, however physicians holding these degrees are referred to as 'Doctor' by courtesy."

Just to confuse things, surgeons (who often hold doctorates) are refered to a "Mr"

thanks for the help

It's to do with lines of longitude and latitude... if it was triangular they needed another set of lines and they couldn't afford them.

errm, a triangle only has two dimensions.
Even digging my garden would indicate that the Earth is three dimensional.

Because gravity wouldnt work.

It probably was to start off with, but over time the corners got battered off by insane weather until gravity uniformly shifted everything into a nice ball shape. Incidentally, less gravity makes for easier up hills and HUGE downhill hills. Olympus Mons on Mars is 14miles high

From memory, it was something to do with those muppets in the EU and some strange legislation in relation to a certain tri-angled chocolate bar from one of its members countries. As the earth wasnt made of chocolate the EU deemed its was unlawful to be tri-angled shaped and only the aforemention confectonary treat was premitted to use the design.
