Another day another dollar as the saying goes. Or the Squaw of the Hippopotamus hide is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides if you prefer. I think Pythagoras had a theorem about that. Also Monty had a joke about it. I wish people should leave cybernetics outta this. Most anthropologists have found the computer models unnecessary.

However a smart cookie Pytho was. He may have been a gay Neo Con because he did spend a lot of time fiddling with right angles. Left angles or obtuse angles as they are better known seldom saw the light of Pytho's day.

Not so with Euclid. In the morning he would make his way to a window to check the weather and the position of the sun in the sky. Often he forgot to open the Greek blinds smuggled in from Venice and drew a blank.

That's when he would postulate. For instance his axiom that for every point P in Istanbul and every point Q in Constantinople not equal to P there exists a unique line that passes through P and Q.

Emmy Lou never did mind her P's and Q's.
