I have to say I immediately assumed his update time was fake until I kept reading. "Cliff last updated this page on Sept 5, 2020, while worrying about California's forest fires" Next step, create bot that pulls headlines and auto-updates timestamps.

Usually when this happens, its well worth the license fee to figure out whats wrong to improve the product, and the customer is eager to help.
I bought my parents one of the Klein bottles. It is really fun to hold something so useless yet interesting. I also thoroughly enjoyed the service provided. I received a complete inspection report, and the bottle was carefully packed and diagrammed.
A colleague of mine purchased one of the Klein bottle hats, and they received some selfies of Stoll wearing it in his garden right before shipment :-)
I got one of those as a birthday gift in grad school, and it's a lot of fun, even 10 years later. I used to fill (yes) mine with tinted water for added joy.

It's a giant pain to get anything out of them, though, or, for that matter, to clean them (unless you have a trick for it?).
