If you form the triangle CEB, all three sides are irrational but the angles come out to integer ratio multiples of pi:  ¼, 1/3, 5/12, or for the degree fans among us: 45, 60, 75.

 

I see this as a proof there is no designer of the universe.  Reasoning: had there been a Grand Designer, when she was setting up something like this (perhaps as a little joke for math geeks to discover way down the road) she would have thought about their faces when they discovered it and ended up laughing so hard the whole thing would have been wrecked.
