"It's come full circle."
Particularly when used to describe something that has changed to the opposite of what it was. That's a half circle.

^this absolutely - see "doing a 360" comment above

Ah, yes.
Perhaps you should add "Idiots not reading the thread properly and saying the same damn thing"

"...but you know, since Monday, like, he's done a complete one-eighty."
What the fuck are you on about? Was he playing darts? Or did he just stand on the spot and rotate?

Why is Xbox 360 called that?
Because when people see it they turn 360 degrees and walk away.

NNNGAAAH!
That would mean they carry on walking towards it! This joke is not compatible with Euclidean geometry!

As someone who uses maths everyday in my proffessional career I suggest you go back to school.

...
One of us has erred here...360^o is a complete circle, so rotating through that size angle would bring you back to where you started from. Or have I missed some clever subtlety here?

It's a very old trolling technique.
I'm meant to bang on and on about how I am a doctor in mathmatics and president of NASA's geometry division as you get more and more wound up. I'm going home in 5 though, so I give up.

Ah, with you now.
Sorry, it's been quite a long day and I thought I was actually losing my mind for a moment.

Of course you were assuming that they were facing the X-box to start with

(Cave Duck, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 17:04, Reply)

And even if they were. They could turn "full circle" and then walk away backwards.

(Cave Duck, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 17:06, Reply)

Or they could walk in a different direction
if they and the Xbox were on a non-Euclidean surface.

Is there any way to shoehorn spin 1/2 particles in here?
Not that it'd help at a macro level obviously, but still ...
(BrianHequator was stretching owls, on, or around, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 17:12, Reply)

I guess you'd need electrons to power the Xbox in the first place
I think they're half-integer spin...
(LongJohnBaldry, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 17:14, Reply)

I do
But in any case, they'd carry on walking in the same direction, after executing a largely pointless rotation through a complete circle.
