Question 33178
No. it says parallel lines never intersect.  Meridean lines on 
the globe satisfy the requirement that a line is the shortest 
distance between two points on the globe.  But the meridian lines 
intersect at the poles; the 1st postulate does not hold in a 
curved space.  By the way, that means does not hold on the earth
or in our universe.  WOW!
