How many white Lines?
How many white lines in this white rectangle?
> How many white lines in this rectangle?
> How many white lines?
How many miles to Babylon?
Three score and ten.
Can I get there by candlelight?
Aye, and back again.
If your feet are nimble and light,
You'll get there by candlelight.

Holes of the Poppy Pod
So you see.... a neat little row of quadrangles under the flat cap; a circle with radiuses.
A little globe of a house with windows like in a skybox.

Wheel on the Poppy Pod
The ' lid ' of a poppy pod shows that the spikes of this ' wheel ' have lenght but also breadth. So you can't call them lines but linear they are and concentric in a natural circle. Spikes.
The number of spikes on each poppy pod's head is not consistant . This one has got 14 , but there are others with 11, 12 and thirteen.
Wonderful to see that when when the seeds are getting near being ripe little windows open up
right under the lid of the pod. A neat regular row of holes to let the seeds escape.
Those holes are in number always equal to the spikes.

Lenght without Breadth
In two dimensions, two different lines can either be parallel, meaning they never meet, or may intersect at one and only one point. In three or more dimensions, lines may also be skew, meaning they don't meet, but also don't define a plane. Two distinct planes intersect in at most one line.While Euclid did define a line as "length without breadth" , he did not use this rather obscure definition in his later development.______________________

Power-lines Collapse
Collapsing giants:
An electricity pylon or transmission tower is a tall, usually steel lattice structure used to support overhead electricity conductors for electric power transmission.
On Jan /12 / 1998 the power of nature prevailed over man -made power constructions.
See what happened to the proud lines in the lower image :
In Canada and North-East U.S. hundreds of Power pylons collapsed under the weight
of glazed frost.
In Nov / 2005 the same thing happened in Germany. (upper image)
Broken and collapsed giants
