Actually, if you like crazy geometry, you could do worse than to wonder 
around the inside of a Gothic cathedral...

Some of the geometric constructions these people came up with are pretty 
amazing. (Not to mention the "minor detail" that as you stand in a

above your head, and it was all liften up there by people's bare hands...)
