      If anyone is talking about Mobius Strips then Cliff Stoll MUST be mentioned. This guys passion for Mobius Strips is infectious. this video Also he was one of the first system admins to actually catch a hacker who was using his server in Germany in 1989. [LINK]

    2. @bambaxJun 2015· in “The man with 1,000 klein bottles under his house [video]”

      Yes, in the video I'm talking about this video he says that a bootle has an edge (~3'40). A sphere does not have an "inner surface", it has just one surface. So does a potato. If you go from sphere to potato to bowl, when does an edge appear and does it have to appear, is my question.
