but we're not just dealing with the one bone and angle to make them parallel, there is the other stifle angle that if the leg bone is longer than the shoulder bone will intersect at a different angle, thus throwing the parallel line off. Now you make me want me to drop everything and go get my geometry books (((really big grin and giggle))) Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: Edwin Hill To: juel@xxxxxxxxxx ; freelist Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 8:18 PM Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: [amergsd] Standard Illustrated juel <juel@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I do believe if you ask any geometry specialist, the bones must be of equal length in order to be parallel. the above is not true...parallel lines are lines that are side by side and can never intersect with each other....Ed Hill not alert, their angles do not look as flashy and extreme. Hence the quest to breed for the more angled look to have that flashy look all the time.
