Cliff Stoll stores Klein bottles i in the crawl space under his house and manages his inventory with a frickin' robot. The head clearance seems a bit short for a4 4D space!


This is what comes of neglecting the storage instructions.

Worse, the klein bottles did nothing to remove my black heads

Arguably, they just _typed_ his name -- maybe they didn't say it out loud :)

Strangely, I had that very page open on my three dimensional computing device last night and it was still open just now.

There are no antimemetic posts.


yeah, but I see those everywhere... all the time!


I do

Thanks for that helpful answer. Big no thanks to those people who downvoted a genuine curious question. I'm allowed to not know something.


Just remember to keep the formulaes for the descending node (or dragon's tail) handy.
