Angles are real and we walk between them

[Napier]

Well, they are. Like where the walls and floor and ceiling meet, or in the corners of doorframes. I'm walking between them all the time.

[Chimera]

acute.

i like the cut of your jib.

Beware the Hounds of Tindalos! They come out of the angles!

[Rachellelogram]

Don't be obtuse.

Way to go off on a tangent, people.

No, obtuse is safe. The Hounds can't get in through obtuse angles. <looks paranoically at corners>

Do I sense a degree of forced humor in this post? Need a laugh? Couldn't get someone to co-sine that loan for you? Don't go off on a tangent, come out and say what you mean, man!

[tellyworth]

Keep an eye out for Brown Jenkin too.

Don't make me put you in the isoscelation tank.

[EmilyG]

I've always believed in angles.

It's those godless bastards that live in dome homes that I pity.
Nowhere to hang a picture even.

Nah, the Rouge Angles of Satin are the ones you need to beware.

[cmyk]

The kids are outside making snow angles right now.

*sigh* such graceful hypotenuse...

[Ignatz]

What's your angle?

The angle of the dangle is proportional to the . . . . of the . . . . .

I always like to walk between complementary angles, because they say the nicest things.

[panache45]

You guys are positively dihedral.

That's because they're so congruent.

[needscoffee]

This thread is becoming way too protracted.

[Crab Rangoon]

Right.......

We have a house that looks like a blue golfball up the street from us. It's quite interesting to look at.

[Maserschmidt]

Particularly (but not exclusively) if you live in England.

[Napier]

Or if you fish.

[Slithy Tove]

Walking between them too closely can have far-reaching effects

Hey, you got Angle in my Saxon!
Well you got Saxon in my Angle!

Hmmm, tastes great! Wanna go slay some Romano-Celts?

[AaronX]

I knew there was a trig to this thread.

I dunno... A lot of the domes I've seen are just covered in angles. Now yurts, on the other hand...

[drewtwo99]

I don't believe in angles myself. At the quantum level, everything is discrete. So, angles are only an illusion on the macro scale.

[Cicero]

I always wanted to tri angles.

Cos it's a sin.

[Ace309]

I can't believe how protracted this thread is.

[ftg]

Heathens! Have we learned nothing from the great prophet Oblio?

Repent. Embrace the sphere before it is too late.

[Malacandra]

I wasn't going to laugh at this thread, but then I did, on reflex.

Incidentally, if an Anglophone is someone who speaks the language of the Angles, what does that make someone who speaks the language of the Saxons?

Yeah, me, neither. After I started it I thought I was being a turd because of how sparkly warm the Angel thread was.

Oh, there's no pun in this post - still, it's funny, no?

I lost mine in Bermuda

Me, I just sit back and bask in the glow of the thread and get a nice tan.

Well, it's no cosine pun...

Hey, when come back, bring pi!

Bill Clinton?

[alindallas]

i figured you would put that sort of slant on things.

I feel I should intersect at this point. This thread is not normal at all--it's a slippery slope, for sure. I tried to run over the rise, and found myself inverted.

[Malacandra]

At this rate I'm going to have to cosh someone.

(Mods, that's not a serious threat - I'm just using hyperbole.)

[Sr Siete]

There's no such thing as angles, only extremely steep curves.

We could say the same for parallel lines.

[serious break]Untrue - any curve, no matter how steep, has a tangent at any point, and hence a gradient at any point. The gradient of a line with an angle in it is undefined at the angle, e.g. the function y = |x|, where the gradient is -1 as x --> 0 from below and +1 as x --> 0 from above, and hence is not uniquely either (nor any other value) at x = 0.

Thanks; I was wondering if anyone got the reference...

And don't even think about what happens when they tell their kids to go sit in the corner.

Go away, you evil Doper-person! When I want my ignorance fought, I'll let you know.
In the meantime, I'm having fun , and wondering how Satan will deal with the archangels arcs and angles.

Oh, it's all smiles until someone with golf clubs comes along.

You must be stern about it. Then watch them go nuts trying to comply.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to side with chappachula and tell you to get bent.

[Malacandra]

Sorry, guys. This is the Dope, and you get your ignorance fought whether you like it or not.
