  13. This reminds of the wonderful short story published in Fantasia
  14. Mathematica long ago.  I don't have the book handy, so I don't know the
  15. author or even exact title, but in it the "Boyleston shuttle" created
  16. such a complicated topological structure that the T became a Klein
  17. bottle and trains started disappearing into another dimension . . .
  18. great story!

  20. Maybe they should link it up and see what happens!
