This afternoon I got email from Cliff Stoll.

Which isn't so weird, because I ordered a klein bottle for somebody (thanks again for the idea mynatt). What's weird is that it's five paragraphs, with at least three personal references from my order form that suggest he hand-crafted it, or else his form-mail program is much better than any I've written.

I've never seen the Klein Stein before. Truly a cool design. You could put hot water in the outer chamber, then coffee in the inner chamber. Presuming you are willing to classify them that way. Topologically they are both the outer chamber, especially the inner one.

If I had a topologist in my life, I would totally order one. I might anyway, next time I have $80US laying around, waiting to be re-purposed.

i'm sure he wrote it by hand. after all, he is, as you say, a grade-A nut, in the best possible sense of the term. my friend r6 met him in person after a talk and completely agrees.
