I have offered students $5 if they can draw a triangle with 2 right angles.
If you have a black hole handy, this may be possible.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

It's possible to have a triangle with two right angles -- on the surface of a sphere.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
people are pissing me off in my office. If people email you wanting an answer, then get back to them. If they start calling me asking for answers I am not running interference for you. seriously.
also, other department, if you need an answer from my boss and he is not in the office, do not ask me about it. I am the assistant, not a decision-maker. honestly. Contact someone at the next level down, call the boss' cell, tattle to your superior, whatever, don't wuss around passive-aggressive with me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

If a student did this I'd likely pay up, and then talk about 2-d vs 3-d vs 4-d. Maybe gravity, too.

Quick, folks:

"...and therein lays his ethical position..."
Word says "lays" (snicker, 12 years old), but "lies" sounds more, I don't know...right.

"Could you just die, Bob, uh, Clippy? Could you just do that, huh?" Another Ari Gold-ism that's made it into our daily life...Mom said it to Mitch McConnell on TV the other day.
