Twitter is both orthogonal and parallel to email, nice!

Isn't that possible considering planes in more than two dimensions?

Not unless either Twitter or email equals zero.

(Unless you take "orthogonal" and "parallel" to mean "there's a vector in one and a vector in the other that are orthogonal/parallel".)

If I remember correctly, two lines being both parallel and orthogonal is quite possible in Hyperbolic (Non-Euclidean) Geometry.

Parallel lines of longitude converge orthogonally at poles.

Yeah, I never knew that orthogonal and parallel were synonyms.
