jerzkid87 ::: Favorites "The circle is a sacred symbol of purity" - ok thats true. because a point is the most elementary shape and symbol distinguishing something from nothing. the circle is a line surrounding the point distant at a standard length around the dot. that symbolizes separateness of an individual from other non nothing others. 07-07-02 17:22:05 _____________________________________________________
jerzkid87 ::: Favorites so that makes sense but then.... "outside a circle can be drawn a perfect square" of course you can!!! duh. you could draw a perfect looney toons haracter also. the square is arbitrary and you could inscribe a circle into any regular polygon and still touch tangentially. 07-07-02 17:22:18 _____________________________________________________

jerzkid87 ::: Favorites oh and its funny too... i just noticed how if you "diagonally bisect the perfect square [btw- perfect square? all squares are perfect otherwise they are just rhomboids!] we arrive at four triangles"... not four equilateral triangles!!! notice that in the diagram when the yellow trace e.triangle is superimposed over the crossing it doesnt actually match up! lol (3:32) 07-08-17 01:13:36 _____________________________________________________
