I have the book your friend got this from at home. It's called "The Dot and the Line"; i can't remember the name of the mathematician who wrote it (although I remember it was dedicated to Euler). Anyways, if people are interested I could probably draw/write up something closer to the original version, but it would have to wait until I get home for the summer, after May 16. It has a lot more cool geometry bits in the part where the line shows off his new skills... > Shinil Hong > State Univ. of New York at Buffalo shi...@cs.buffalo.edu > M.I.S. / C.S. v13...@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu -=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+ Ben Elgin Ben...@hmc.edu KUMQUAT!
