(Earth doesn't have corners, and it would be the eight corners, anyway.)

Why eight? Are we guilty of rampant cubism perhaps? The idea that a sphere is really a prepubescent cube? Perhaps the Ancients on high-dose Amanita sp. envisioned a tetrahedron. Four corners. Then there's an octahedron with six (and they ain't corners so much as VERtices,) eeber yabble yabble.

<<Yes. You guys. That isotonic mattress I got in the mail? >>

Sue is supposed to be on her CPM machine for a total of 18 weeks. Insurance covers 4 weeks. We got a call, they want m o n e y. the extra 14 weeks worth. It's $70 per day. My wife will be eating the off brand macaroni and cheese for a while.
