klein bottle

[cellio]

For his birthday I bought Dani a klein bottle. It was a definite hit. :-) The documentation it came with was well-done, too -- definitely as entertaining as the bottle itself. (Why yes, of course I read the paperwork and carefully inspected the bottle before wrapping it up for him. :-) )

The web site is lots of fun too. Be sure to check out the spin-off products, like the "cutting edge jigsaw puzzles".

Dani hasn't said yet whether he's going to apply the calibration decal it came with. You know -- 0, 0, 0, 0... :-)

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, see this explanation from their web site.)

Oooh -- I've been there before, but I've never seen the Tantalus Cup before. I may have to get one of these. I love the quote:

"Don't confuse these with cheap dribble-glasses. Nope, these are expensive dribble glasses, made from genuine borosilicate glass with *real* silicon atoms."

Oh yes, I love the mug with the siphon hidden in the handle. I should have picked one up while I was ordering anyway; I'm sure it would come in handy someday. :-)
