I Has A Theorem...

You have two squares with one common corner, lets call them ACBD and DEFG. If a square is constructed with C and E (the corners of each square that are nearest to each other) at opposite corners, the third corner of the square is the centre point of a line drawn between B and F (the most distant corners of the two initial squares). Same is also true of a square made with A and G at opposite corners.
I'd be surprised if this was a new discovery, the Greeks were mad for this kind of shit, but I add it to the list of interesting mathsy things I've discovered to infuriate my mathematician friends who've never had an original thought in their lives ;)
