Are you designing city toilets?

IKEA is smart. They start their store is a crappy neighborhood which is very close to a posh neighborhood. They save a lot in the real estate cost without loosing any customers. To buy furniture, the upper middle don't mind driving to a not-so-far neighborhood even if it's crappy. Whole foods cannot have that luxury, they have to be well inside the posh neighborhood. Most people don't want to drive many miles to buy food.

Are there triangular toilets in Poland?

Borek

Could be, even if I don't remember seeing one. But triangles and circles are used to differentiate between lads and ladies toilets, aren't they?

lisab

Hmm...I've never seen that. Sooooo...I'm a circle,right ?

Sounds like this is our local sign, I always thought it was more universal.

Edit: I spent a considerable amount of time helping a friend with trigonometry homework yesterday; I ended up having strange dreams involving lots of circles and triangles last night. I was remembering the strangeness of my dreams when I made the post.

Lol, I would have no idea what that was (and I spent a summer in England for a summer when I was a teen). Here in the Western US, men are men, women are women, and shapes are shapes .

lisab

Ah now that I've seen. Guess I've always focused on the figures, not the shapes .

Borek

Some may say that triangle standing on the vertex is a symbol of a woman.

Dembadon

I, admittedly, don't believe I've ever made the connection either - until Borek's post.

ahhhh, yes---the peace symbol

This happened to me all the time at my X job....I went through like 4 computers. The IT people were like WTF?

Some report Archimedes' last words were "Don't disturb my triangles." Others report they were "Don't disturb my circles."

Circles and triangles, triangles and circles, circles and triangles...

Hello World!

Goodbye Cruel World!!

(Note: One of my worst teachers is named Mr. World. I'm glad to be out of his class next week. So it's not a suicide.)

(Note2: The above is all a joke, including the Mr. World thing. But wouldn't that be awesome if it were true?)

As a side note, I love math. It goes great with barbecue sauce.
