On wheels and walls (re: T's comment).

Just had a weird thought -- Sunday cartoon weird. One of the tweets responding to T's comment said that the first wheel we know of was a pottery wheel, and that wheels weren't used for tranportation for another 300 years.

So what if the person who made that pottery wheel hadn't rounded it off? Would all our wheels be square? That would make for some uncomfortable rides, even in The Beast.

Some days I just can't believe what I see in the news.
