There are so many wonderfully odd corners of the internet. And, it seems, the non-internet.
The known portion of the non-internet is spherical.
Any mention of Roy Orbison brings to mind memories of my undying high-school love of the Traveling Wilburys, which I turned up randomly in my dad's record collection.
4: True, but corners are hardly required.
It could have corners on the inside.
Right. Rincones rather than esquinas.
Ulli is actually Christo's nom de web.
The page describing the book is excellent.
The associated text adventure is also excellent.

Now, a cubic planet would require eight corners and a much more complex theory of gravity than is currently used for anything not moving at an appreciable percentage of the speed of light. However, it could explain my brief spells of dizziness and why the Pirates suck if Pittsburgh is right on one of the edges.
Well, it all depends on your theory of planetary formation. If you think they're formed by accretion or whatever process it is that's supposed (by the reputable) to have formed the Earth, sure. But maybe someone reinforced the edges.
12: Oh, weird. I just clicked on it to confirm it was a full version of the song, but clicked away to another tab while it was playing the audio. Uh, what?

YOU HAVE BEEN EDUCATED STUPID! PLANET HAS 4-CORNER 4-DAY TIMECUBE!
But maybe someone reinforced the edges.
That could explain the big hunk of angle iron that flattened two of my tires a few years back.
Apparently on cubic planets interestingly minimalist websites are used to sell specialized construction fixtures.
18: If I ran that company, I'd call it "Shitting Bricks."
A more mundane Wilburys video, but suits my nostalgic mood.
19: They're built like a shit brickhouse.
I thought this one was poignant, about halfway through, when its Orbison's part to sing. He had predeceased the video production, so they show his picture on the wall and a guitar in a rocking chair.
Holy shit. I just watched the entire video in 5 (the first time it froze up about 3 minutes in), and after the song ends there's over a minute of silence with just the text "Learn how to www.GetChicks.info".
The text while the song is going is pretty creepy too.
HANDLE ME WITH CARE!
