Weird Triangle Has Four Sides

Scientists are baffled by the discovery of a “mutant” triangle that has an incredible FOUR sides, instead of the usual three. According to experts, this is an occurrence so rare that it only happens once every hundred years.

Researchers at MIT are currently studying what they are calling the “isotope” triangle, and have landed on a theory of mathematical “mitosis”. “It appears one side of the triangle replicated itself through mathematical mitosis and changed its appearance,” according to Doctor Aseem Kolbarm, a scientist at MIT. “It is still however a triangle, because we can measure only two inner corners of the revised shape. In geometry speak it means that both shapes have interior angles that total 180 degrees: essentially the definition of a triangle.”

The appearance has caused many mathematicians to wonder if current geometric proofs are valid anymore. “If this theory is correct,” says Dr. Warren Winters of Stanford, “then essentially everything we thought we understood about nature is rubbish. On the bright side, however, it may explain the existence of Carrottop.”
