Are you sure the Chinese translation of cone is correct? What if those characters really mean "I am a happy green frog sitting in a ditch"?

What if they mean "I am a happy blue crab sitting in Finland"?

Could those Chinese characters reveal us the starting point of how to construct a Tardis?

You're suggesting that a cone is the foundation or building block towards creating a Tardis?

Are you suggesting that conic sections are irrelevant in the geometry of a TARDIS?

コーン is the geometric foundation of a hyperbolic paraboloid , otherwise known as a conoid, am I correct?

Aren't hyperbolic paraboloids just a subset of conoids, or am I mistaken?

Now I haven't a clue what either of you are talking about, but I'll just nod my head in agreement, alright?

Was that just a statement rephrased to be a question?

Is this relative to the difference between Law of Excluded Middle and The Principle of Bivalence, or am I conefused?
