RE: RPG read loops

Well, curved space isn't all that's needed....  The universe must also be
closed, in order for the line to wrap around it, so that it may pass
parallel to itself.  I think the consensus right now is that the universe is
essentially flat, making this solution  impossible once again.

Yes I think I attempted that solution in 7th grade, but ran out of time at
about the edge of the known universe.

NO!  NO!  I GET IT!  You see, space... is curved... so if you keep
drawing a "straight line", sooner or later it will curve?

Good one Bob!
