Axis of Evil
A gem of geek humor stolen from a post on Ernie's 3D Pancakes:From "Shape Fitting with Outliers" by Sariel Har-Peled and Yusu Wang, SIAM J. Computing 33(2): 269–285, 2004.
DEFINITION 3.2. A set of hyperplanes I is a δ-sheaf if there exists a vertical segment s of length δ such that all the hyperplanes in I stab s, The vertical segment s is the axis of I. [Footnote: We will refer to it as the axis of evil when appropriate.]
So what does the axis of evil look like?
This shows a δ-sheaf in RxR with pq as the axis of evil.
