Finally he gets it…or does he?

They don’t want to meet until after 2020

Like all math; because that’s what we call that.

Only opposites attract.

Now if you take parallel lines and put multiple lines across them, you could invent railroad tracks. Or picket fences. Or gates. Or tic-tac-toe.

Put a bunch of parallel lines together and then a bunch of lines across them, and you could invent jail, where many people will end up if they don’t straighten out.;)

They’re not in the same league.

Parallel lines never meet because the universe is flat. If the universe were round, like the earth, parallel lines could meet. If you want to test it out, pick two spots on the equator and draw lines going directly north from them both. Since both lines are going in the same direction, they’re parallel, but they will meet at the north pole.

This has always been one of my favorite comics! Thanks again, Mr. Hart.

So, take the clue and introduce them! >B^D

Euclidean geometry allows parallel lines to exist. Many other geometries do not. In Projective geometry for example there are no parallel lines.

Anyone else hear Stan and Ollie’s voices (Turner Classics running L & H films this month on Mondays)

Ask a dumb question…

One must first define the subject. par·al·lel

adjective

1. (of lines, planes, surfaces, or objects) side by side and having the same distance continuously between them: “parallel lines never meet”

did ya hear the one about – yep. mic drop

If they can’t introduce themselves, what’s needed may be a pick up line! :D

If this is the series I think it is, I can’t wait until he proves that parallel lines never meet. (Hint: He fails.)

Ah, smart comes and goes, but dumb is eternal…

Parallel lines never meet, but they talk all the time. One keeps giving the other a line…

WTF?
