Draws quasiperiodic tilings; think of the implications on modern formica technology. In April 1997, Sir Roger Penrose, a British math professor who has worked with Stephen Hawking on such topics as relativity, black holes, and whether time has a beginning, filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against the Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which Penrose said copied a pattern he created (a pattern demonstrating that "a nonrepeating pattern could exist in nature") for its Kleenex quilted toilet paper. Penrose said he does n't like litigation but, "When it comes to the population of Great Britain being invited by a multinational to wipe their bottoms on what appears to be the work of a Knight of the Realm, then a last stand must be taken."

Mosaiko kuasi- periodikoak marrazten ditu. Egilea: Timo Korvola. 1997- eko apirilean, Sir Roger Penrose- ek, Stephan Hawking- ek erlatibitate, zulo beltz edo denborak hasiera duen gaietan ibilitako matematika irakasle britainiarrak Kimberly- Clark Corporation auzitara eraman zuen, berak sortutako eredu bat ("Naturan eredu ez- errepikakor bat existitu daitekeela" erakusten zuena) kopiatu zuela salatuz bere Kleenex komuneko paperean erabiltzeko. Penrose- ek auziak guztoko ez dituela dio baina "Baina populazio britainiarrari bere ipurdiak erreinuko zaldun baten lanarekin garbitzera gonbidatzen zaionea, neurriak hartu behar dira". Honela agertu zen News of the Weird # 491 atalean (1997- 7- 4).
