What Goes Around Comes Around



The two of them were oddities
Well known in well-known parts
Frequenting lines of streamers
Among the bendy fits and starts

With relish flaunted differences
In concentric senseless style
Combined insanity with vanity
They led the world in single file

Tiptoeing round the cutting edge
Became the peak of what’s the point
Not saying or betraying why
For neither aimed to disappoint

Never ones for taking sides
They were continuous in the loop
Forever getting feedback from
A transformation simmering soup


Question: How long will wine stay fresh in a 'Klein Wine' bottle

A Klein bottle is a non-orientable surface, where there is no distinction between inside and outside. So unlike a sphere, where you cannot pass from the outside to the inside without passing through the surface, in a Klein bottle you can do just that. If you were very small, an ant say, you could start at any point, and keep crawling until you reached the other side of the surface, without passing through any surfaces, and without needing to cross any edges.
