It Was the Largest Auto that I Could Afford

My friend Geoff, and I use that term loosely, cause it’s short for Geoffrey, has a very small summer car. With the top down, the trunk space in his Pontiac Solstice is very very limited. There’s not even enough room for an anorexic supermodel, which is fortunate, because the chances of him bagging a supermodel are slim at best.

We determined exactly how much space is in his trunk by running a simple experiment. We filled it with water, and then measured said water. As it turns out, his trunk is large enough to fit a singularity (i.e. an infinitely small point). On measuring again, we confirmed it could fit only one singularity. You couldn’t get two singularities in there if you used Kate Moss to shoehorn them in.
