We hope the League of Nations will rule the Tetrahedron well.

A baffling magazine article from 1918 claiming the Earth is becoming tetrahedral in shape, according to unnamed "men of science".

(Via Strange Maps, an excellent blog pointed to by Avram Gruner.)

I want to make a joke about God playing dice with the universe but it's so obvious...

As, I suppose, is any joke about the four corners of the Earth.

We hope the League of Nations will rule the Tetrahedron well.

"My Magazine" seems to have been a British publication for grade schoolers of the 1910s and 1920s; the title doesn't seem to lend itself well for finding more relevent info on Google.

Thanks for the pointer to Strange Maps. Nifty!

Hmm, nature's harmonic simultaneous 4-day time tetrahedron.

I am tempted to do what Avram did and just link to a dozen entries on this blog. I will limit myself to noting that it's reminded me that I live very, very near the territory of the original gerrymander (http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2006/12/18/53-ever-been-gerrymandered/).

I have now friended the RSS feed of that blog. Much thanks!

"Men of science"? Aren't those the same people who believe in global warming and digital watches?

ZING! Science lobby 0, worshipers of the dancing pink elephant fairy 1. Eat my fairy dust, scientific doom pundits!
