Ah, Ebbie! There are more sides to the Brooks Range than are dreamt of in your philosophy. As mountains, they have a "corrugated" sort of surface, which makes them topologically interesting -- so much so that they have actually intersected more planes than ours. I could describe the geometry involved, but doing so would require me to make use of higher math, like the square root of negative imaginary numbers and even that would require an n-dimensional computer screen.

Here's good question for you all: there is something with only one (1) side, and I'm sure you've all seen it. What is it?
