AllisonH 0 #8 December 16, 2007 My entire knowledge of non-euclidean geometry is that angles of a triangle don't add up to 180... Edited because my fingers apparently work faster than my brain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #9 December 16, 2007 I don't know, but if triangle owners don't store them securely so that they can't be used to hurt people, then they shouldn't be allowed to have them. Did you know that 300,000 triangles were stolen from law-abiding citizens last year? Every triangle used to commit a crime started out its life in lawful commerce at some point. Ban triangles!

JohnRich 4 #11 December 17, 2007 QuoteBan triangles! Especially those acute isosceles triangles - those things have tips so sharp that they look like spear points. You might even call them; "assault triangles". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
