A burleque dancer, a pip Named Virginia could peel in a zip, But she read Science Fiction And died of Constriction Attempting a Moebius Strip! -- From Fantasia Mathematica, to the best of my recollection

Here are a couple of good limericks I picked up quite some time ago. Sorry I can't quote the source of them, but I don't remember it. A mathematician confided That a Mobius band is one-sided, And you'll get quite a laugh If you cut one in half, For it stays in one piece when divided. A 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." Happy computing...
