Frinkahedron

Frinkahedron was Professor Frink's name for a cube, which he claimed to have discovered.

History

The term was coined by Professor Frink while explaining Homer Simpson's disappearance into the third dimension. Drawing a square on a chalkboard, Frink demonstrated how extending it along a hypothetical Z-axis would create a three-dimensional object. He identified the resulting shape as a cube, or a "Frinkahedron," claiming it was named in honor of its discoverer. The explanation was intended to illustrate that Homer had become trapped in a three-dimensional space, but the increasingly impatient Homer interrupted Frink before he could conclude that the missing man was located within the cube.
