RE: RPG read loops

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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!
