		If Ames had been asked to pick an unlikely regiment that was earmarked for greatness, he certainly would not have picked the 20th Maine, in that month of August, 1862, as having any "date with destiny."

	Les Jones: WOTD: Ames Room (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An Ames room is constructed so that from the front it appears to be an ordinary cubic-shaped room, with a back wall and two side walls perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the horizontally level floor and ceiling.
		However, this is a trick of perspective and the true shape of the room is trapezoidal: the walls are slanted and the ceiling and floor are at an incline, and the right corner is much closer to the front-positioned observer than the left corner (or vice versa).
		An Ames room is depicted in the 1971 film adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
