What's your favorite regular polygon? Choose 3 options.

Equilateral triangle. I don't much rather like any of the other shapes since the more sides you add you just get a continually smoothing out multi sided circle.

Mine's the pentagon, since you can draw satanic symbols in it.

:snipe: Mine's the pentagon :drevil:, since you can draw satanic symbols in it. :yes:  :headz:

And quoting quickly points out your satanic rituals :eek:
Actually, adding emoticons made what you said seem all the more evil :yes: (perhaps you didn't intend this?)

That, and the world's largest war machine is headquartered inside one.

No longer a coincidence after hearing that

Triangle, because every other polygon can be divided into triangles. Not necessarily equilateral triangles, but whatever.

Pentagon because it includes phi and is the most complex polygon that can be used to construct Platonic solids, and because it's original symbolic meaning is actually connected to something entirely different than satanic rituals and just out of spite towards the church that stamped it as a satanic symbol, I can't help but kinda like it.

Hexagon because it consists of equilateral triangles and forms a symmetric, strong cell structure and can be joined into each other to form a plane.

The church can be wierd. Satanic symbols are probably called satanic because either a satan worshipper used the symbol, or it was just a random symbol that somebody feared and labelled it as satanic and no other reason. Reminds me of 666, should people fear this number because one person at some time in history was afraid of it and labelled it as satanic? Some of the things in life people call evil may just rather be ordinary things and nothing else.

Pentagon, for snails reason. Triangle, for Herras reason. And the Heptagon, because it has Se7en sides  :p

you all do realize that early christians used the pentagram to identify each other. just goes to show that all religions start out with a bunch of satan worshipers.

The only true polygons are Tri's and Quads.

Otherwise it is just bad geometry.  :nervous:

IIRC, pentagrams and the number 6 (among other things) have symbolized many cheerful and positive things in pre/non-christian cultures.
So its only natural that they were later demonized by church :D
