So, appalling scam aside, everyone knows what a Klein bottle is or what it does? First I've heard of it, and neither Stoll's site or the Amazon listing shed any light on the topic...just in-jokes.
- matsemann 5y agoIt is mainly a joke/gag product for mathematicians, or a cool office decoration. Nothing you would buy without the background knowledge. But second sentence in the listing: > Like a Möbius strip, this Klein bottle has only one side. In addition, a Klein bottle has no edge - the connection from "inside" to "outside" is smooth, and the bottle has no lip. Is proper descriptive.

- jcl 5y agoI love that the “hand-blown” bottle pictured in the article is one of Cliff Stoll’s.
