Borromean rings

Borromean rings are a configuration of three rings arranged so that no two rings are interlocked but all three together are. No need for the oven...that completely baked my noodle. A blog I regularly read (can't remember which one right now) recently started to compile a list of metaphors in search of subjects...these rings should be right at the top of the list. (via clusterflock)

Update: Here it is, Russell Davies' Analogy Library. (thx, rod & zach)
