I stopped to pick up a tooth from the middle of the road.

  random memory unlocked:

  I picked up a piece of diamond plate from the middle of the road in highschool once, it was a weird shape and it caught my eye, a triangle shape like a ships sail. Trapezoidal.

  years later my vehicle was broken into by breaking a small side window, and in that moment I realized I had a piece of scrap diamond plate the exact shape and size of that window.

  I used industrial epoxy to glue it in place over the glass and left it like that for a decade (the window was basically ornamental anyway, useless for visibility).

    A trapezoid has four sides. Which is it, trapezoid or triangle?

    Sorry for being a pedant, I just can’t focus on anything else with statements like this.

      A trapezoid is just a triangle with one corner cut off. I can see a shape being described as both.

      this cracked me up 🤣

      bothish. the hole was a trapezoid, the visible window part was a triangle. Apparently called a quarter glass

  Better take it to the dentist, it’s got a cavity.

  Looks like an excavator tooth.
