Come on, people. I've got fifteen minutes to kill here. Entertain me! Doesn't anyone have any funny Euclidean anecdotes?
Of course, I could try to catch up on my reading, but -- BO-ring.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A Euclidian, a non-Euclidian and a duck walk into a bar....

Euclid - isn't that a cover for a ukelele?

The Euclidian and the non-Euclidian get to arguing over who's view is correct. They end up betting on who can make the better case. The duck agrees to judge the winner....

I'm trying to think of a fowl joke involving parallel lines, but having no luck. Go on, tommyrot, I'm hooked.

The Euclidian says, "Of course, my view is correct. The only way the non-Euclidian view could be correct is if space itself is warped."
The non-Euclidian responds, "Well, we just don't know how space is shaped. We can assume for any given problem that space is Euclidian, but that doesn't mean it's so.
"Nonsense," replies the Euclidian. "OK, who's the winner?" he asks the duck.
"You are," says the duck.
The non-Euclidian gives the duck a "what the fuck?" look. The duck says, "Dude, you totally should have brought up the hyperbolic paraboloid-space argument. He totally would have folded, between that and the fact that he's being judged by a duck."

What is even happening?
RIP Simon Wiesenthal.
We (humanity) owe him a debt we cannot repay. We can only keep current on the interest by remembering.
Is that the one that called me disaffected?
You must really be a strange one if it did,Oh, I am. But no, that's not the quiz which did tell me I was disaffected. I was just joking.
because my brother and I went through the test trying to answer all the questions as if we were Osama bin LadenWho's strange, now?
I ended up a Democrat. Moderate on one thing (social issues, or whatever) and liberal on the other (economic policy). Big surprise. Sadly, I'm not speaking to the Democratic Party.

Thanks. I had no idea how I was gonna end it when I started. Which is not the best way to come up with a joke.
