Is it possible to draw a triangle on a sphere?

OK, have you ever heard the question: "If a tree falls in the woods, and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?" This kind of question doesn't desire an answer, only that it draws you to think about the role of an observer in a phenomenon.
This is something similar. The idea is that in thinking about the question, it leads you to explore what a triangle actually is, and does it become something else if you try to draw one on a non flat surface?
visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_geometry to learn more.
Not convinced? In that case, take this video as a good reason not to create YouTube videos after a night of heavy drinking.

@bsheehan1225 more than likely, but at the same time, your comments weren't to edify him, but to humble him. in my small amount of life, i've found that humans suck badly at humbling others, and instead just start fights. i would encourage you, for the sake of yourself, and the other two involved, that you would make comments to increase knowledge and build people up, so that the wisdom you have can be passed on, and help to edify others.
