He got into quite a little trouble in a sense with his cube and square because he couldn’t square the Earth. I drive across the country quite frequently, and I just drove across coming here, and you come into any one town and there is squareness locally but the surveyors don’t meet up with the square in the other town because it is a sphere and not a cube that we are on so you are always having these lot lines that come to an end of the line and the road turns at a right angle and goes here and accommodates and comes into the web of the next town. We really pay very little attention to this kind of inadequacy of our working assumptions.”
