Abstract: Pick a few points on the plane. Draw several lines through them. Mark some points on these lines, such as the points where the lines intersect. Draw additional lines through some of these points, and so on. Sometimes this process produces miracles: points lying on the same line for no obvious reason. I will explain where these miracles are coming from.
