In case you were wondering, my avatar is a Möbius Strip.
What is a Möbius Strip you might ask? Well, I'll tell you. In SONG!
No, no I will not do that. I will however ask you to do a little arts-n'-crafts project for me:
1. Cut a thinnish strip of paper (maybe one and a half inches wide by 11 inches long).
2. Crease it in the center and draw a line through that crease at both sides of the strip. (If you want, make one side black and the other side blue.)
3. Take each of the short sides and hold them in your fingers.
4. Twist one side over so it looks like the following diagram:
5. Tape the two sides together like that. There, now you have your Möbius Strip. Wierd looking, right? More like AWESOME LOOKING!
6. We're not done yet. Take a pair of scissors and make a small cut on any side of the strip (about 1/4 an inch wide).
7. Turn at a 90 degree angle, and cut so your scissors are parallel to the side of the strip.
8. Cut until you reach your starting point.
What wierd thing happened here???
