Never mind the big hole in it.

Dilbert author Scott Adams has an interesting blog entry, about his Donut Theory of the Universe. I call it interesting, because it is a fairly good explanation of something that has piqued the curiosity of mankind for millenia.

(As an aside, it also provides ample fodder for puns: one comment goes, “Sweet theory. I think you are on a roll with this idea. Perhaps some Danish research institute could fund research into your theory. Although, I have to admit I sort of glazed over reading it.”)

Give it a read; it’s the closest I’ve ever come to understanding these things. :)
