I've seen the effect Gallium has when poured onto aluminium...incredible.

It can if one leg is shorter than the other two.

Nope. The legs still form a plane, so it will simply lean to the short-leg side. If the one leg is significantly shorter, it will fall over, but it will never wobble.

Captain James Cook mapped the area (Newfoundland) before his Pacific travels. He came up with the Dildo naming.

No. A thousand times no. Three legs form a two-dimensional plane (length by width), meaning it cannot wobble as all three points are in contact with the floor at all times (provided no outside interference, such as someone deliberately tipping it over). No matter if the legs are of different lengths. A four-legged stool that doesn't have legs of exactly the same length will add the dimension of height to the plane, meaning one leg can be off the floor, thereby leading to a wobble.
