wikipedia doesn’t come up with an answer to my liking

weak google fu?
from wikipedia:

MD, from the Latin Medicinae Doctor meaning “Teacher of Medicine”

HTH.

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.

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

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 😯

What tyres for Olympus Mons?

Possibly ones with less than 0.something psi

Continental Gravity?

I think even they would accept that the planet has a thickness of greater than 0.0mm?

It was, asteroids knocked all the corners off.

sorry i can’t accept anything they would say.

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.
