I remember at school in standard 2 (i guess that's year5 or so?) when I was 9 or 10, the teacher bet us $5 that we couldn't draw a shape with 2 sides. About 10 of us students tried to do it, all of the attempts attempted drawing one line with another straight line coming out from the first one. (I'll put up a pic later). Now that I think about it, it can be done...if only I drew a straight line and then a semi circle like the basketball 3 point line, I would be $5 richer today...actually more with the compounding interest...doesn't that suck?
This isn't about 2 sided shapes though, it's about 8 sided shapes called octagons......Did you know stop signs are octagon shaped? Probably, but I bet you don't know why!
Neither do I, but here are a couple of signs anyway to get the left side of your brain working.$5 if you can tell me which countries these stop signs are from. Leave a comment and I will seriously give the 1st person to answer correctly $5. Only one person has commented on my blog so far so I'm starting to feel like no one loves me...
I'm totally bored out of my mind from writing this. If you actually read all this and are still awake, there might be something wrong with you...Good night.

aw poor baby! (I'll send you a tiny voilinist to play sad music over your shoulder-- with love all the way from Nelson lol!) no one else comments on your posts? good on ya Gurpreet for being such a loyal reader!
I think the second sign comes from some country that speaks French. Other than that, who knows :)
one more thing, if that smaller bit on the second sign has 'stop' signs on all three ends of the T junction, does anyone ever move? knowing French drivers, its going to be some merry chaos!
you're right, the bottom one was from canada, probably the french side. lol, when you come to an intersection like that, the bigger vehicle has right of way. So a truck goes first, then van, then car etc etc. If you're on a bike, be prepared for a long wait..
