Nope, after all of the maple syrup, there aint too many flat bodies up here.Had to read that in graduate school. Had an interesting but rather strange Brit professor with two PhD's teaching a philosophy of science class and he made us read it (among many other similar books) to show how our perrception of things is controled by our environment, training, what we area taught, etc,., etc,., and so on.
