Noticeable symmetry breaks down pretty quickly once you start looking at things from the inside. Wait a minute. Isn’t bilateral symmetry reasonably defined for an N-dimensional object? It just means that you are symmetric about an N-1 dimensional hyperplane. I think you’re dodging questions because you don’t want us to know the truth. ---

Does polydimensional motility enable you to simultaneously play more two or more table game in a casino without the pit boss demanding that you pick one or the other? Can you simultaneously play craps in one casino and roulette in another, thus avoiding a suit noticing that you are trying to play at more than one table? Can you play blackjack at the Fremont in the afternoon while at the same time getting Portugese sausage at the Main Street Station breakfast buffet? And can you eat said Portugese sausage on an almost daily basis without putting on a lot of weight? Also, are you finished using my 1920’s-style Death Ray? 'Cause if you are, I’d like to have it back. ---

Can you travel faster than the speed of light? If not, how exactly do you travel the vast distances of the universe? If you say _worm holes_ I will force you to watch a never-ending loop of [Flash Gordon (1980)](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0080745/) until your head explodes! ---

What color is your towel? ---

> [@Dubious Sacrifice](#): > > Can you travel faster than the speed of light? If not, how exactly do you travel the vast distances of the universe? Speed & Distance (and wormholes for that matter) are limitations that must be endured when recognizing only 3 spatial dimensions. They do apply in polydimensional motility, of course, but they are not nearly as troublesome. Find the right slip and you’ll find that point A is only a few moments away from point B. Even if this distance is seperated by light years in your 3-dimensional view. My towel originally was as pink as the day I plucked it from the Aurelian towel tree back on Rigel 6b twenty years from now. It’s since faded a bit to a greenish brown, and the more nutritious patches are a deep blue (non-sentient blue–I’m a vegetarian). ---

A PMI alien? Will your PMI get canceled automatically after your loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%, or do you need to refinance? ---
