Now, this Yes, Dick Fischbeck http://profiles.yahoo.com/dick_fischbeck -- we met once in Applewhite's apartment -- does these "randome" things where you don't have to prefigure any math. Just pinch for concavity/convexity, staple together, and you're done. > people who are deaf, blind, and mute building a geodesic dome by just > helping each other add parts? > Sounds like some kind of emergency operation, not done with optimum planning or forethought.
