Wow, that is an amazing result.

:Nope.  '''Any''' shapes, '''any''' locations (as long as they don't overlap).  You can find a plane through the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and 3C273.  Or think of it this way:  a plane can be specified by three numbers (or "degrees of freedom").  That is, ax + by + cz specifies a plane for numbers a, b, and c.  You have three constraints: it has to bisect each of the objects.  So it works.  [[User:PatrickD|PatrickD]] 23:40, 9 November 2009 (EST)

:: Wow, that is an amazing result.  I was going to suggest 1st, 2nd, and 3rd bases as a counterexample, but it's clear that a plane parallel to the field bisects them.  Raise 2nd base, and one simply rotates the plane, I suppose.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:52, 9 November 2009 (EST)
