    I only disagree with your 12th point. I say my wife has a hyperbolic cycloid parabolic hairs which I think are asymptotes to the complex root of cuboid equation. But nothing is perfect so the hair may not really define the curve I am talking about. They may however be a simple root of elliptical path in which (n+1)th satellite revolve around the Andromeda galaxy. :razz:

    Anyways superb collection.
