Q: Why do Economists provide estimates of inflation to the nearest tenth of a percent? A: To prove they have a sense of humour.
"The Greek offer is not sufficient and they have to go away to come up with a revised plan," said a spokesman for the German Finance Ministry. The Greeks must first have a plan that satisfies the Germans which this comment states they clearly don't yet and then the Greek Parliament will vote on it this weekend. This said, whatever package gets voted on in Greece is basically an up or down vote on euro membership so we are entering another uncertain weekend for global markets. A failed vote will likely lead to a hard default which may be what...

Plastic soda bottles are round and contoured for a reason. I’m skeptical that a bottle with straight sides and square corners could retain its shape and strength with highly pressurized contents. Right idea though.

I think all storage containers like consumer bottles should be square. Round bottles/jars/etc. waste so much storage space!

Jojo,
pay attention to ADC’s point..Geometry effects structural strength..
also, envision why the “OK” Sign is so easy for us to make (with our hands)..
I wonder if this Designer, actually, knows that Henry Ford produced ‘bio-plastics’ pre-WWII (?)

Great idea. Beautiful graphic. But, there is a typo in the text. I hate when that happens… If you can’t find it, let me know and I’ll point it out.

ADC is right: Either the sides bulge out, or the sides start concave, and then, when you open the lid, you get a geyser, or if you make it stiff enough, you make it out of 5 or 10 times as much material as the cylindrical bottle.
There is a reason that gas cylinders are cylinders.
