He also made a sphere when a cylinder rolls just as well.

@Dolimyte They don't corner well.

@ninalanyon they do if the side has a radius, like an old timey wooden barrel.

@Dolimyte True enough. But the usual definition of a cylinder something like this:
[quote]A solid object with:
• two identical flat ends that are circular (or more generally have a curved boundary)
• and one curved side.
It has the same cross-section from one end to the other.[/quote]

@ninalanyon this is true, but my original point of he did more work than was needed, still stands. I'm not really interested in getting pedantic over the semantics.

@Dolimyte I've never understood the US use of the word semantics. Semantics is the science of meaning, surely something that we [i]should[/i] be pedantic about.

@ninalanyon if this were a philosophy class, very much so, but we are talking about a silly doodle on the internet.
