What's your favorite shape?

Edit: Replaced 'octagon' with 'doddecahedron' a fare more hypnotoadie shape. :D

3. The voluptuous curves of the Möbius Strip
really get me going.

That or the Icosagon (20-sided). It's a cool word.

4. Parallelogram, no question.
I always liked how they were just like regular rectangles, but because of two of the angles, not quite.

5. Hexagons are where it's at, baby.
Triangles are too sharp, and squares are too, well, square. Pentagons are invitations to terrorist bombings, and heptagons are not easy on the eyes. Octagons, nonagons, etc. are just gauche.

Hexagons are fundamental to organic chemistry. They are peace, love and understanding. They contain essential vitamins and fight plaque. If you're feeling polygonal, why would you choose any other?
