One of my fav 'fact'y things is the mobius strip.

It's like a 2 dimensional object that exists in 3 dimensional space. It only has one side, a front.

(It's actually part of the SuperString Theory called "colliding open strings.")

Most folks know about the strip, itself, BUT, try this:

"A mathematician once confided

That a mobius strip is just one sided

And you should get quite a laugh

if you'll but cut it right in half;

it's one two-sided piece when divided!"

You cut it 'lengthwise,' i guess you could say.

Oh! And any of you that decide to experiment around with that? See you sometime next week!
