3 weary guys check in to a motel one night. They each get a room, which the manager charges them $10.00 each for. After a bit, he decides that he over charged them, and the combined total for all 3 rooms should have only been $25.00. So he gives his helper 5 one dollar bills, and instructs him to pay it back to the three guys. So, away goes the helper on this errand. He thinks; well, I can't split 5 ones equally among 3 people. So he keeps 2 in his pocket, and gives each guy back $1.00. So, the rooms end up costing each guy $9.00 each, which times 3=$27.00. The helper kept $2.00. $27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00. Where did the other dollar go?

"Happy Dude" care of Homer J. Simpson at 121 Evergreen Terrace Way. :)

Bet ya'll didn't know that the geometry we use (Euclid's) is one of three that was invented at the same time.

Each one proves that it explains the workings of the universe beyond reasonable doubt...while contradicting the others in varying areas.

Euclid's was chosen as the "true geometry" (I get the impression) for political reasons as well as popularity (I think Euclid knew how to show oters a good time!).
