Striped Sheets

[catenoid]

Striped sheets are the best kind for a rectangular mattress size, because you can tell when they are aligned correctly and when they are aligned 90° from correctly.

In related news, the English language Wikipedia article for 'bed' lists no square mattress sizes at all. All are non-square rectangular prisms. Well, I guess if you had a 76in wide US

Brilliant. I think I'll have to by myself some striped sheets at some point. Or maybe take a Sharpie to the lower left corner of my bottom sheets or something. Because I've just done the calculations, and I've spent a total of 37 hours and 42 minutes re-aligning incorrectly placed sheets in my adulthood. Dude. That's, like, a day and a half.

The things you learn from wikipedia. When I was growing up, a 'califonia'king was two doubles jamed together in a special frame.
