From an extreme Non-Euclidean geometric perspective.


Note I can't find a you tube video that extends the standard projections into the third dimension to show how insanely warped space becomes from the perspective of a spherical Non-Euclidean spherical perspective.

It's all been a slippery slope since mathematicians allowed imaginary numbers and women into the field.

Especially in parts of Australia.

The problem with non-Euclidian mathematics has always been that the field is primarily dominated by, and defined by, people who aren't Euclid. If you're a mathematician and you're not Euclid, then you're in a disproportionately large conjoined subset of mathematics already.

That is all

TeeGee, I love you like family, but this anti- New Zealand stuff just has to stop.

How do you spell that shape again Symm? Something about doug?

Personally, I blame irrational numbers.

The H-Nut? Discovered by Doug and made out of dough? It has a long and storied history. It's basically named after the Duke of Earl, Viscount Douglas the Third of Nutsborough. He famously demanded that he was annoyed at removing the nuts from the centre of their shells as it interrupted his gambling online (this was in the 17th Century, you should know, and his partners were corresponding their moves via homing pigeons, so not exactly online, but the 17th Century equivalent).

Anyway, the pigeons kept eating the nuts that he was removing from the shells, and he famously said- "Bring me dough-nuts, and don't let our DUMBER KIN in the Americas change the spelling just because they DO NOT know how to spell DOUGH."

Unfortunately, at the beginning of the American uprising, longer words became more and more difficult to handle for the increasingly cut off colonies. DO NOT was the only part of the message that remained to our "DUMBER KIN". Over the years, that became increasingly corrupted to the DUMB KIN DO NUT and then DUNKIN DONUTS.

Almost indecipherable without context.
