Angles - whats the obsession?

[DBusby]

Why is man obsessed with angles? Take a look around you, nearly everything is either square or rectangle. This is particcularly strange as nothing as i know follows this in nature.

[beenee]

Maybe it's a reflection of Man taking control of his environment. Like capturing nature and representing it in our own warped perception.

[xyzzyplugh]

maybe it's to do with stability and strength but a few more arches wouldn't go amiss.

[darth vader]

as xyzzyplugh suggests it is about architectural strength, but also about maximising the space available

[comloulou]

it gives your thighs something to complain about when you edge into a desk corner...

[*kelderpaw*]

In nature; spiders webs, trees, ley lines, fork lightning, cracks in ice, crystals, honeycombs, leaves on plant stems are not haphazard but mathematically perfect in angle.

A round dice doesn't work either

[gilf]

Actually you can get round dice. They are a ball which is hollow in side with small indents inside where the numbers are, there is a metal ball inside which we rolled rests in one of the indent and you have your number. If you dont believe me check out your local GamesWorkshop
