So what the hell did Blondie release in 1978?

Blurred lines?

People worrying about tiles not lining up exactly. They'll never actually be parallel. They might look it, but they're not.

parallel
1. (of lines, planes, or surfaces) side by side and having the same distance continuously between them.

The example I use with my students is I hang two bobs on two clamp stands. They both appear to be hanging parallel but if you were to extend their lines out beyond our atmosphere they'd be about 17 metres apart, albeit 0.2 metres apart on the surface.

So, relax. There's no such things as parallel lines.

From what I can see the shelves are all level, they're not inline though which I think is what you mean.

A good example of something being close to parallel, but train lines aren't parallel.

Because you're claiming there's some tolerance in the measurements?? (I'm excluding curves of course)

How about a parallelogram then?

[Escapegoat]

Hang on... it's possible to have parallel lines. The fact that plumb lines are aparallel (is that a word?) because of the effect of gravity is a red herring.

(tangent) Lemmy, at his most poetic wrote about a parallelogram. Unluckily, SpeedNotMatters wasn't there to fix the errors in his metaphor.

You'll have to come up with a better explanation please
