Dropping this example for the sample reason:
* Not geometry per se, but since \\\'\\\'The Colour Out Of Space\\\'\\\' has already been mentioned: Impossible colors [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_color really exist]], for a given value of \\\"existence\\\". The eye has three different kinds of receptors which correspond \\\'\\\'broadly\\\'\\\' to red, green, and blue, and their sensitivities overlap. No light source will stimulate only one type, so if something \\\'\\\'does\\\'\\\', you\\\'ll see a color that does not and cannot physically exist.
** If you want to see an imaginary color, look at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Science/2007_May_21#Seeing_imaginary_colors this]] for 30 seconds. Green isn\\\'t normally that bright.
