Scientific American posted an article on the shape of the Earth determined by a satellite regarding it from a particular way the last two years.

The European Space Agency put up the GOEC satellite and it can observe the geoid. The scientific American article referenced above explains what the geoid criterion is-I won't try that myself.
The video S.A. posted is found on youtube. So are many other videos loosely derived from the geoid. Many of the videos are Quranicly inspired. The shape of the world without the oceans probably is a little irregularly, and with the oceans it's gravitational field might be somewhat different too. I have no idea if the Quran predicted the potatoe-shape qualities of the Earth, yet if it has thats a really amazing find, I guess. There are lots of videos proclaiming the truth about the essential spud.
