Any two distinct points define a unique line, and any two distinct lines intersect in a unique point.  Have you ever wished that this statement were true?  Has the idiosyncratic behavior of parallel lines always troubled you?  Then fret no longer!  This brief introduction to projective geometry will put parallel lines in their proper place and set your mind at ease.  [Warning: it may also raise questions equally as distressing or more so.
