Oh come on now, what about the rectangles of the bookshelves, the triangle of the table with the men in a row on top, the man talking with 1/3 of the chalkboard at left and 2/3 at right.... you can find these geometric shapes in any scene.

BTW, for those of you that want to have MORE fun with the math aspect of all of this (if you want to try to figure out for example what equation you'll be using here...) go here: Wikiversity's link for Rigid Body States O' Fun! <---WARNING: LOTS of MATH!

Angular momentum, torque, and a strange geometrical shape with different areas of "spin" make for great WTF moments. I like torque the most though, it always provides the most fun through its various breakdowns in Physics...

I can defiantly see a college professor turning that little video into an impromptu test, "Watch this video: Now, assume that this thing has these dimensions and has this mass, also here are the independent velocities for the different areas (if it's a hard class will add in extra stuff like resistance, etc...)... Go ahead and tell me x, y, and, z...? You have twenty-five minutes.".

I really do like this video though. If I was a High School physics teacher my kids would understand what is happening here before they left my class. Screw honors programs and AP crap. All students deserve a chance to be great at something not just the ones that scored good on their tests in elementary (which in UTAH, this IS THE TRUTH!). Off-topic a bit, but I couldn't help it.

W. T. F. It has the same general geometrical shape of a dick, so you can only show it once? Why even once then? Fucked up fucking fuckers.


I'm afraid you can only use that verb once.

Conspiracy theories of an omnipotent power behind catastrophic events and hints about secret societies, based on the presence of commonly occurring geometric shapes... *sigh*

While I do certainly agree that a relative minority seem to have an unhealthy amount of power for otherwise normal human beings, the sinister embodiments listed above have taken root in the public mind without any real proof or fact. The absence of evidence is not proof of existence and the burden lies upon the theorist to produce as much, before people should lend them any credence.

At best, I would hope that these theories are taken as a kind of metaphor for the broad controls big government and influential corporate interests, than anything tactile. Hunting aimlessly for some single entity that isn't there, guided only by the vivid imaginations of those who have connected a few dots, does nothing to wrest back the control of the populace over its own destiny.

Bush, Blair, Brown and their Neocons successfully used the tactics of fear after Sept. 11th to win control because of an aloof and uninformed public. A public that did nothing to prevent them... I'm talking about the generations of people before them that did nothing to stop the powerful proposing bad legislation, enacting self-centered foreign policy and creating a monstrous military complex.

It's not a handful of sinister plotters that invade a country, or erode civil liberties. All it needs is an apathetic public who doesn't notice/mind it's being lead around, so long as they can watch their sports and put on their make-up. While the rich and powerful to become moreso.
