Love Rhombus?

There's nothing more frustrating than Googling a band name and finding that Urban Dictionary is in one of the top five results. Even more frustrating when Urban Dictionary is really one of the only relevant results next to the band's myspace. Urban Dictionary defines a love rhombus as an "amorous involvement of two couples- one straight the other gay." Which make little sense to me since the band's myspace says there are three members in the band.

Maybe the key is that they're looking for a fourth member? But then there would be two love rhombuses. Rhombi? Whatever. Would they combine to make a love octagon? Can you even make an octagon out of a rhombus? And what's to keep the two who are gay from running off with each other? Unless they were of opposite genders. But that might open the door for the two who were straight? And that's just assuming each rhombus is a male and female pair.

Is the lesson of this story is that complicated love rhombuses/rhombi have nothing to do with geometry, or even this band? I don't know, they make music I like and that's all that matters, no?

Right?

I think I asked more questions in the last post than I made statements.

What about googling a band name and finding a site talking about googling the band name in the top three? Would that count as frustrating?

No, that's just dangerous. You might slip into an infinite loop. For your own safety I would avoid this site like the plague.

we have no words of solace for you in your search for love rhombus clarity, nor can we help you out of your infinite search loop, but we wanted to let you know that we made a video. (you being the only blog wise enough to catch on to our geometric genius.) it's kinda funny.
