Excerpt from flatland
edwin a. abbott
1) i call our world flatland, not because we call it so, but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged
to live in space.
2) imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight lines, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and other figures, instead of
remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it,
very much like shadows - only hard and with luminous edges - and you will then have a pretty correct notion of my country
and countrymen. alas, a few years ago, i should have said "my universe": but now my mind has been opened to higher views of
things.

How to prevent onions from making you cry chill the onions in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before peeling or chopping them. sulfuric vapors move slower in the cold—think about how garbage smells worse during hot weather. leave the onion root intact until the last possible moment to prevent irritants from escaping into the air. the root contains the largest concentration of sulfuric compounds in an onion. chop or cut the onion with a sharp knife. fast, clean slicing puts less pressure on the onion tissue and minimizes the release of sulfuric compounds. a sharp knife also allows you to expedite your slicing and reduce your exposure to the onion fumes. open a window or light a scented candle close to your chopping station. the hot flame of a candle will attract tear-causing vapor and will reduce the amount of vapor circulating in the air. what can be done to these instructions to make them easier to read at a glance? deleting everything except the first sentences of each numbered step eliminating the numbers and using bullets using illustrations instead of text changing nothing
