Kinda nuts. I suspect I'm actually a between 10 and 12 now, if you average out the sizes of the pants I have that fit me now. Probably depends a lot on the cut (and some inconsistent sizing.)
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sara, I wish I was there to help with the shopping.
I am trying to get all things ready for tomorrow. Breakfast is done (banana bread), lunch for me is done (leftovers), mac's snack is done, mac's school bag is all packed, our dinner is pre-made. Tonight I need to iron clothes for both of us, and I am going to try and get my shower tonight also.
Goal is him asleep in the next 30 minutes and me an hour after that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For Teppy: Trio of nested Klein bottles
The London Science Museum's image gallery sports this beautiful trio of nested Klein bottles (a Klein bottle is like a Moebius strip extruded into one more dimension): "This is one of a series of glass Klein bottles made by Alan Bennett in Bedford, United Kingdom for the Science Museum, London. It consists of three Klein bottles, one inside another. A Klein bottle is a surface which has no edges, no outside or inside and cannot properly be constructed in three dimensions. In the series Alan Bennett made Klein bottles analogous to Mobius strips with odd numbers of twists greater than one."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How can the bottles be nested if none of them has an inside?

I am normally fairly not into stuff like this, but I think I want a Mobius scarf! [link]

I keep meaning to try to knit a Mobius scarf.
Those nested bottles are neat. Now I'm trying to count how many holes they had to make to build it in 3-space, and figure out if it's possible with no holes in 4-space.

My older sister made a fortunatus bag once. It's a mobius strip bag that has no inside or outside.

I also want to knit a Klein bottle hat, just to try it, but I know I would never wear it, so I'd have to find someone else who wants a Klein bottle hat.
