They went to sea in a bottle by Klein.
Since the sea was entirely inside the hull
The scenery seen was exceedingly dull. |

I remember moving into a house in Calais, ME, that still had all the stuff from the previous owners. There was a full set of those Time-Life books!
(This was the latter '60s.)  
Reading about Klein bottles and Mobius strips fascinated me. I made the strips and cut them to see if what they said was true.
It was. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
