"I don't need a peg leg; I have peg teeth."

Math! It's delicious !

I generally adhere to the "traditional" classification of limericks; that is, the poem must be dirty, perverted, somehow sex-related, or simply gross to qualify as a "proper" limerick. However, every once in a while I come across a "clean" limerick that I like so much that I have to make an exception. The anonymous poem below is one of such exceptions.

A mathematician named Klein

Thought the Möbius loop was divine.

Said he: "If you glue

The edges of two,

You'll get a weird bottle like mine."

If you are not familiar with the concept Klein bottles or Möbius loops, I highly suggest utilizing Google and/or Wikipedia as they are quite weird and a lot of fun (and you can easily make yourself a Möbius loop to play with!).

For further reading: Acme Klein Bottles has a whole page of Klein bottle cartoons and limericks. It's awesome; you should check it out.

I will formally conclude this post with some spiffy Möbius loop/Klein bottle animation.

And finally, a Klein bottle hat that I might just have to order for myself...

Too soon?

Hoitily-toitily

SNL's Samberg had

Asked an alluring young

Lady to dance.

Finding some privacy

Andy excitedly,

Anti-climactically

Jizzed in his pants.

Tumblr Requested I Post A Photo Of Myself. This Is Something I Would Not Have Done (I Do Like The Anonymity),

Tumblr requested I post a photo of myself.  This is something I would not have done (I do like the anonymity), but tumblr asked so nicely that I am compelled to do so. 

I decided to post a picture of me with a mandala that I tie-dyed. 

...

I like to think this shot really brings out the best features in my feet.
