Great link. I would have liked it if it were the knitting patterns for the klein bottle beanie instead of the beanies themselves being for sale. Cos although I'm not interested in crocheting a hyperbolic plane I would like to give knitting a klein bottle a go. ( I once attended a lecture where I was told that you can weave your own klein bottle using a single thread) Although that was a cool ad especially if you want a beanie hand knitted by a team that includes some grannies and an ex librarian!

They argue about cakes at CIB?

Never go to a hospital that inhabits more than 3 dimensions. Mick, Tigtog made a fabulous joke on CIB, calling a particularly self-defeating and tortological argument a “Klein bottle” argument.
