       Thanks for writing the original, and for re-posting it now. It's 
taken another replication towards digital immortality in my "notes" file, 
and when I do my weekly backup tomorrow night, it'll take another step 
that way.

       ISTR seeing them (there are quite a number of such shapes) being 
called "Blivet"s some time in the past. An organisation dedicated to 
proclaiming the devotion of oil companies to their workforce's safety and 
to environmental awareness uses the 3-right-angles-in-a-triangle blivet as 
their logo, which I *hope* is a sophisticated joke by their marketing 
company. http://step.steel-sci.org/
       Oh, I see that the Jargon File has a *very* familiar looking entry. 
Enough said.
       
       The psychologists use something similar (Neckar box?) for probing 
something profound about how your brains don't work.
