Subj: Found a Klein bottle!

Jack,

Remember when I was trying to find a glass Klein bottle? Well I had
almost gotten to the point of trying to get a glass blower to make one when I
came across a Web site for a shop in London that sells them. I ordered 2 and
received them yesterday! When you're at Agonne stop by and take a look. I
didn't save the messages you'd gotten from your physics teacher mailing list,
but I seem to remember that there was at least one person who had also been
interested in getting one. Do you still have those messages?

"I scored the next great triumph for science myself,
to wit, how the milk gets into the cow. Both of us
had marveled over that mystery a long time. We had
followed the cows around for years - that is, in the
daytime - but had never caught them drinking fluid of
that color."
