Ladies and Gentlemen .. I give you the Hyperbolic Paraboloid!

You are going through the three-dimensional geometric shapes, and all of a sudden you hit the hyperbolic paraboloid! Most fascinating (as our pointy eared friend is oft wont to say)! If you slice it one way you get a parabola - slice it another way, a hyperbola .. slice it yet a third way ... two straight intersecting lines! The excitement, the grandeur! Sliced bread has nothing on this baby! Sit back and bask in the glow of this amazing geometric shape, won't you?
