#36: Non-Euclidean Geometry

[horrible_phd]

[Video]

[The footage is somewhat dizzying.  Look at this and this for reference.  A duck seems to be running across a landing--no, sideways across part of the wall.  He's finally turns the camera on himself.]

So, apparently I'm stuck in an M.C. Escher drawing.  Through which I am chasing a duck.  Not very successfully, at the moment, I admit.

Um...

Ducks? Why are you chasing the duck...? Are you trying to save it?

[horrible_phd]

I'm not sure it needs saving, but I'm trying to catch it. It belongs to my roommate and it ran into the stairwell when I left this morning only then the stairwell turned into, well, this.

[quackingly]

Oh, I see...so it's your friend's pet! I can see why you'd want to get it out of the maze.

[horrible_phd]

I don't want her to be unhappy with me.

[quackingly]

I'm sure she'd really appreciate you helping her!

...Is she special to you?

[horrible_phd]

I guess. And she probably won't appreciate it if I let one of the ducks get lost, even if it isn't her favorite one.

...Yeah.

[quackingly]

No wonder why you're trying so hard! But if she likes ducks, she must be a good person.

[horrible_phd]

Do you like ducks a lot too?

[quackingly]

Something like that, yeah.
