Yayo and Anita--glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought of that! *LOL*

What you don't see (because it's blocked by the M&Ms) is that that "spout" merges with the floor of the "bottle", flaring out to become the outer wall of the structure.

A Klein bottle is basically what would happen if you stretched a moebius strip so that ALL sides are connected, not just the two end strips. Of course, a 3D model isn't a true realization, because the hole through which the "spout" passes is a "cheat"--a true Klein bottle would be one continuous, uninterrupted shape--but is necessary for the bottle to exist as a tangible, three-dimensional object.

So cute! I wonder where that glassblowing place is...?

Any minute now, a door will appear in the side of it and a robotic alien eyestalk will peek out, asking for its "Navigator"...

Can someone identify the music in the video...? It RAWKS!! Sounds a bit like E. S. Posthumous but I've never heard it before...

As for the video itself, maybe I shouldn't have played it with my son on my lap...erm...I've got a lot of explainin' to do now... ;-)

I hat to walk away at "The Sound Of Someone Vomiting"...

Frankly, regardless of whether spanking a child is acceptable or not, I'd say he just reinforced the idea of "Spanking = Violence" by remorselessly attacking a 79-year-old woman. Not the best way to prove one's point, unless the point is "I'm A Nasty Bully"...

I dunno, I found the website quite interesting...

But I wish I'd seen the Gateway Arch on their list. That is one amazing piece of architecture. I guess it helps that I also have a sentimental attachment to it as well... ;-)

I gotta admit...there are certainly better ways to do this than to throw your cat or dog into a machine... :-/

I'd need a whole candy store's worth just to cover ONE boob!

My Dad has very thick, sturdy fingernails, and when I was a kid his favorite thing to do to drive us nuts was to drag those accursed things across the top of the car hood. On the "EEK!" scale, it's right up there with nails across the chalkboard--but with the uncomfortable sound of screeching metal added.

Ooooh, my teeth still chatter just remembering it...*shudder*

This happens if you suck on an Altoids mint and then go to sleep. Some years back I went camping, and in my infinite wisdom I forgot my toothbrush and toothpaste. So after a long day of hiking and eating camp dinner, I decided to freshen my breath with an Altoids and then hit the kip. The next morning I woke up to the foulest flavored mouth I'd ever had, and made the mistake of looking at my teeth in my makeup compact. My whole mouth was as black as licorice! YIPES!!

My husband made a mad dash to the local convenience store for a travel toothbrush, and I made a mad (and somewhat sickened) dash to the nearest public restroom. Three full scourings later, my mouth was back to its usual gleaming state, and I'd learned a valuable lesson in dental hygeine!
