Euclidean + Hyperbolic + Elliptic = Bootlean

Ramifications for the cosmological shape of the universe are unknown.

your facts arent even right. in hyperbolic geometry the sum of the angles of a triangle is less than 180 degrees and in elliptical geometry the sum is more than 180 degrees. at least get your facts correct!!

Very clever. However euclidean geometry manifests itself at the sole of the boot. Bootlean is correct, maybe you should alter the drawing
