1. Mobius must have had too much to drink from his/her Klein bottle!

2. A mathematician named Klein
Thought the Mobius strip was divine
He said "If you glue
The edges of two
You can make a strange bottle like mine".


Now available in LEGO!

3. Oh for fucks sake.
I've got a very important preliminary exam coming up in three hours and I believe that one of the three questions involves the recent synthesis of an aromatic molecule with a mobius topology. I've been wracking my poor brain with mobius strips for the last week and I'm still not sure I've got things right. The last thing I needed to see right now was more fucking mobius loops.
