If the straight ruler has no solid base or solid foundation, the resulting line will always be crooked!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow, that's a good one!. I think definitely you can (and I don't mean lifting the ruler for a second stroke)!. If you are plotting say a bell curve (and I am shamelessly lame in math) or say Pluto's (do we still call it pluto and is it still considered a planet!?) elliptical orbit around the sun any attempt to render it w/ a straight ruler would be considered "crooked" (I think!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

why not!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? at first make your paper as crocked(zig-zag)
then pull line from your straight ruler!.!.!.that's yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you make one line going one way and extend it with lines going in different angles and then you have a crooked line!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes, why!? because i'm very talented!. how!? by moving and turning the ruler very fast!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if the ruler moves!. it would need to be mounted down in order for the line to be straightWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, if you take Einstein's theory of relativety into consideration!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
