His warehouse is amazing. It's cooler than the Klein bottles. This guy is like a real Doc Brown with too much time on his hands.

I ordered a small Klein bottle from him, and the best part wasn't even the bottle I eventually received. It was the emails he sent me as he prepared the shipment, along with photos of him wrapping the bottle, his wife's garden, the bike he rides to the post office. Second best thing was the hand-written note he included thanking me for the order. Third best thing is the bottle itself, but honestly, it's just another knick-knack on my shelf.

#6A mathematician named Klein
Thought the Mobius band was divine.
Said he, "If you glue
The edges of two,
You'll get a weird bottle like mine.

I had the same thought, he cherishes making you laugh and having a good and interactive experience. He has different jokes for every country.
When I received my Klein bottle, along came some papers from ACME with numbers and instructions. The delightful inside baseball cane when he had a field for "number of ingredients in Licor 43"!

Similar story. Ordered one for my wife. Also recommend watching him on YT (Numberphile).

#9"In the end, I am very proud of the illustrations I came up with.’
Rightfully so. These are easily the best visual explanations of the Klein bottle I have seen.

I'm pretty sure I say this every time Cliff Stoll is mentioned on HN, but one of my goals in life is to be as excited about something as Cliff is about everything.
