If 14,000 angels can dance on the head of a pin,
Then this bottle should fit several million in. [infidel, May 12 2011]

Sounds pretty borging to me. |
|
| |
I'd like to see hypercube dancing. |
|
| |
Escher never designed any dance halls, did he? |
|
| |
There's a natural progression: line dancing, square dancing,
cube dancing (only in microgravity) hypercube dancing (the
whole
thing would be done in VR, and it would be more like chess
than dancing). (Oops, [sninctown] got there ahead of me.) |
|
| |
Swing your partner once around, allemande up and allemande down. |
|
| |
Time-traveling square dancing. If I had a time
machine, I would enjoy a two-minute dance party
with 100 copies of myself, then send myself two
minutes back in time, 100 times. |
|
| |
Where would you find that many masters of Temporal Fugue? |
|
| |
And because of that, [inf], you deserve no mercy whatsoever ... |
|
| |
Fundamental Polygon dancing: if you swing your partner around the wrong way, do they end up inside out? |
|
| |
Doubt it. Some partners are just irreversably convex. |
|
| |
Will the design give rise to optical isomerism? |
|
| |
Trying not to imagine Klein Bottle Dancing. |
|
| |
You're a remarkable individual. Most people would have to
try very hard TO imagine it. |
|
| |
Really? They're not that hard to comprehend. I've
posted an image that makes them remarkably easy to
visualise for those who have trouble. |
|
| |
Just a bottle whose neck passes back through the
flask of the bottle and opens via the bottom or side
of that flask. |
|
| |
like cage-dancing, but squarer? |
|
| |
Like square dancing, but in three dimensions... or
more, if you feel square dancing isn't currently a two-
dimensional activity. |
|
| |
[infidel] I've purchased Acme's products, and they are three
dimensional. A Klein bottle, has 4 (spacelike) dimensions
and doesn't pierce itself. (Also, it's Klein Bottle *Dancing* I
thought particularly hard to imagine.) |
|
| |
Any product marketed under the "Acme" banner causes us grave disquiet. |
|
| |
The rocket-assisted rollerblades ("Catch the Roadrunner with no effort !") demonstrated particularly spectacular and unpleasant stability issues, as once ignited there is no control of the thrust or burn time of the solid fuel motors. |
|
| |
You only fall for the Acme Exploding Birdseed once,
or so I'm told. |
|
| |
They may seem three dimensional in your temporal
frame of reference, [mouse]. They are definitely
accessible in both past and future, so I'd say they're
four dimensional. |
|
| |
[infidel] are you the Medium Lobster? |
|
| |
Perhaps, perhaps not... Again, your experience of
that may be dependent upon your initial referential
co-ordinates and whether or not you choose to be
bound to a Euclidean space. |
