Once upon a time there was this pirate in the Caribbean

[old steel]

Apparently as the story goes he got fed up with his bottles of rum rolling off the table while sailing around so he designed a glass bottle with six sides, like a hexagon, so it wouldn't roll off the table quite so easily.

Hence we have ...

After a few beers i will be cracking one of these open to celebrate the end of seeding in this spring from hell. We actually finished a few days ago and for the time we spent in the field we could have seeded 10,000 acres not 5.

Enjoy your weekend mates.

Good story/theory.

But 4 sides will roll less than 6.

A hexagon will roll before a square.

But a dam good way to put a bug in ones mind to look for that hex bottle
to try out its contents.

It is the heart of the matter that really counts, the exterior is just eye wash.

How does the saying go?

"Beauty is skin deep" But real beauty is bone deep!

Or something like that, which is a truth in life!

I've got an old 26 of whiskey upstairs in a pair of boots i haven't worn forever and it is a square shaped bottle.

Can't think of a good reason of why i haven't drank it yet. It was bottled in 1968.

One of these days....

Captain Cook. A great mariner in his time, some charts are still based by his discovery.

Each man on his vessel, had a ration of 1 gallon of beer a day and a pint of grog. Grog, being watered down rum, most likely. That's a lot of alcohol. These guys were three sheets to the wind the whole time!

Aloha, and cheers.

Not so much if it is part of the long term diet, the body will adjust.

But getting spaced out, when confined on a tiny ship compared to today's vessels, ever seen one of the old wooden ships and what was a normal crew and the space they lived in?

I can understand why they twisted off when they could!

That's when they discovered the motherland and the indigents gave them fruits that cleared the scurvy. Lack of vit. C, Then the Brittans came over in boatloads and killed them all. This is how modern man makes a home.

In the real new society we bomb the freedom into them and ruin their water with depleted uranium scrap. Win win, the market hits a new high tomorrow!!!

Things didn't end so well for Captain Cook, indeed. The natives got him in Hawaii. I don't think they had a stock market back then either...

A hexagon would stack in a rack better than a circle (and as good as a square) and would use less glass than a square.

A hexagon would stack in a rack better than a circle (and as good as a square) and would use less glass than a square. Depends, if a bottle is square, they would stack with less lost space between them than a hex. Hex's are closer to being round, and major lost space stacking them because of the loss of space in the curves.

Unless I am blind in the mind!

Grin!

Edit:

Bees have been doing hex's for ever, for a given volume hex's rule,

for a given volume of space..

But they still will roll where a square bottle will not!
Major grin!
