  1. Stan Wagon, a mathematician at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., has a bicycle with square wheels. It's a weird contraption, but he can ride it perfectly smoothly.

    Yes, but how does one describe "a flat" when one has square wheels?

    What do you mean a waste of money?
    It kept an academic employed for two years didn't it?.

    Where else would someone like that find employment in the real world. At
    least it keeps 'em of the streets.
