A perfect triangle?
Pythagoras suggested that in a right triangle the hypoteneuse squared is equal to the sum of the sguares of the other sides. Mathematicaly it works.
The only problem is we can not draw a perfect right angle (you can try but someone will always come up with something more accurate)and so empirically it will not work (close enough though for most work).
Pythagoras, being a philosopher as well as a mathematician, recognized all this and suggested that the perfection we are unable to obtain in this world but which is suggested by mathematics would be a good beginning for defining the divine realm.
The Hebrews, at about the same time, took this a step further (independently I think) and suggested that this perfection we cannot reach and only barely understand is a being and is a being that created us in its image, loves us and works in history.

Perfect Rhubarb Pie*
4 cups sliced fresh rhubarb
4 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon quick-cooking tapioca
1 egg
2 teaspoons cold water
1 Pastry for double-crust pie (9")
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Place rhubarb in a colander and pour water over it; set aside. In a bowl, combine sugar, flour and tapioca; mix well. Add drained rhubarb; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Beat egg and water; add to rhubarb mixture and mix well. Line a 9" pie plate with bottom pastry. Add filing. Dot with Butter. Cover with remaining pastry; flute edges. Cut slits in top crust. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F; bake 40-50 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
Thanks for sharing a slice!
