I thought some of the replies posted were revealing too Spit
Nice one Pug.
Poor old Admiral Nelson is no longer with us now, on the 8th day of March 1966 in Dublin’s city fair old Nelson took a powder and he blew, gone from the city centre for good where he lorded over the natives from his perch high above O’Commell Street.
I remember the night well, we were in a city centre pub a few hours before the bomb exploded, a mighty bang and the Admiral dissappeared. mercifully not a single injury was caused.
They used to charge 6 pence to climb Nelson’s Piller, never went up it meself, I believe his stone head is in the civic museum here in Dublin. ‘The Spire’ is in his place now.
Very few Dubliners were ever up Nelson’s pillor, mostly tourists used to climb the 166 steps to the top where it had an overhead cage wiring to prevent the suicidal leapers from jumping over the rails.
There used to be a first world war joke about the Pillor, I remember me granny telling it to me although I was to young to get it at the time. Someone once asked a Dublinman what was the difference betwwen Lilian Gish and Nelson’s Pillor, to which the Dubliner replied ‘Haven’t a clue Sir, I was never up any of them’
You know, us geezers on here try to work things out that don’t add up, well, what is puzzling me of late is, how does that Salesman on the Oak Furniture Land advert, afford such a lavish Pad?

And scurries up the stair.

I will make my bed

Today is one of those incongruent days, so it is a good day.
are you sure i thought we were all
congruent people well integrated, no longer in need of “masks.”
JC take ff ya mask!! and become congruent!
Congruent? Didnt ISOSCELES figure in triangle thingys, he was a bit of a square spending hours gazing at his rectangle.
I can sense an oxymoron closeby
jc? Jc?
Jesus Christ?
Yes, he was waiting for a Rhombus, then two came at the same time.

If, with the literate, I am
Impelled to try an epigram,
I never seek to take the credit;
We all assume that Oscar said it.
is an epigram in the same game park as a rhombus or parallelogram certainly no room for sharp pointed rectangle [they’re hard to sit on] or a circle which can’t keep still
Ah,gumbud…if I may just interpose forra mo?
Y’see;The interior angles of any polygon always add up to a constant value, which depends only on the number of sides. For example the interior angles of a pentagon always add up to 540° no matter if it’s regular or irregular,convex or concave,or what size/shape it takes. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula:sum=180 (n−2) degrees,where n is the number of sides.
So for example:a square has 4 sides,so interior angles add up to 360°
A pentagon has 5 sides,so interior angles add up to 540°
A hexagon has 6 sides,so interior angles add up to 720°,etc.
BUT [this is where it gets interesting…[honest]…For a regular polygon,the total described above is spread evenly among all the interior angles,since they all have the same values. So for example the interior angles of a pentagon always add up to 540°. So in a regular pentagon (5 sides) each one is one fifth of that,or 108°. Or,when placed as a formula, each interior angle of a regular polygon is given by:180(n−2) n degrees.
BUT-when unfolded and laid flat,any polygon,no matter what the internal angulars total when holding shape,reducts via Euclidean retraction,to zero-over-180 as a potential. Which,y’have to admit,is rather interesting,as it proves mathematics and the paragrams thereof do NOT hold to a constant,even when vectors and planes are non-inclusive.
Thus-light potentially CAN travel at speeds that are ‘faster than light’,provided the vectoral mass does NOT exceed the quantum mass!
…and it all started with a caveman dropping a rock on his foot…
Numbers are all well and good, but thus far, can’t be used to explain why some folks are square pegs, in the circle of life.
Hampshire hog ennitt
Haha
spitty you crack me up
yes but I could suggest rocks being dropped on cavemans head around here sometimes - but would a rock cause more damage to a cavepugs head if dropped from a top balcony window rather than say standing next to him on a chair??
now where on earth or planet jupiter even did you get the idea that life is a circle - seems like a maze to me!! Pug is life a circle??
Nice to see you all in good harmonic form lads, seldom is wonderful.
I hope the work is not grinding you down Spitty, take it easy.;-)
A grinder is useless unless you have an edge, as Chief Dan George said to Clint Eastwood in the film Josey Wales ‘Yeh gotta have an edge, everyone’s gotta have an edge, take that young squaw over there, she’s got plenty of edges’
Indeed we could all learn something from Chief Dan George’s writings, he was a very wise man, here’s a couple of his quotes.
‘There is a longing among all people and creatures to have a sense of purpose and worth. To satisfy that common longing in all of us we must respect each other’
‘Of all the teachings we receive, this one is most important: Nothing belongs to you of what there is, of what you take, you must share’
‘We had the land and they came with their bibles, now they have the land and we have the bibles’
A truly great man in my opinion, he was factual and witty at the same time, as me granny would say 'Half joking and whole in earnest. A Canadian chief who began his acting career at the age of 60!
