tetracontakaidigon
In light of the number of corners we have turned in Iraq (and my username), including the second bombing of a very important mosque this week, I would like bring attention to the humble tetracontakaidigon.

A polygon with 42 sides. And 42 corners. Because that's apparently how many damn corners we're going to have to turn before the Iraq mess ends!

2. No, that's an old one
I forgot I had posted it, actually. Oh, well.

Still valid.

Look up "polygon" on wikipedia for how to name polygons if you're interested.

3. i remembered from YEARS ago that there was a naming convention
that accounted for most polygons...I love the googolgon 10^100...I, however, would call it a 'circle'.

:-)
