What to Buy for the Geek Who Has Everything?
Via the permalink-impaired John Novak, we have this gift idea for the mathematician on your list:
This looks like a glass cup. But wait -- it has two big chambers connected by a hollow handle. In fact, it's actually a Klein Bottle.
Hot ziggitty -- a Klein Bottle that delivers liquid straight to your waiting lips. Yep - you heard me right. You can drink right from this cup. Pour in beer and it's a Klein Stein. Would you believe Einstein's Klein Stein?
$80 is probably a little steep for a visual joke that very few people will get, but if you're getting gifts for a tenured topologist, it might be worth the price...
