Actually, it's right!


In spherical geometry, parallel lines are great circles that only intersect at the equator, as shown in this diagram:




So, as you can see, they look parallel near the "top" and are seperate, but do in fact intersect at the equator!


And that ends today's geometry lesson.


Math is fun! (That's the statement, btw)
