Yo...Craig dug up this interesting tidbit that should answer the number 
2 Mobius Question ("Mobius?!? what the hell is that?"). (The number 1 
question of course is, "Sharon?!? Who the hell is that?" ;-)

                             Mobius Band
                        1967 Uni-Chotometrics

 This illustrates a  true Mobius band with a disk moving along its
  single edge. One side is blue and the other is white. notice that
  360 degrees in one direction gives us a mirror image or reversal of
  'sides' to the disk . . . without leaving its one edge.


This is a true Mobius band, which we call a Uni-Circle because it is a
circle which has more than 360 degrees. 'Everybody' knows that when
you have a circular band of something, such as a ring, and you trace
around an edge with your finger and have gone 360 degrees in a
circular motion, you will be back to where you started. You will also
have NOT touched the other edge of the ring. (just good common sense)

With a Uni-Circle, when you reach 360 degrees in a circular motion,
you will be only HALF way around. You have to go another 360 degrees
to reach where you started because it's one edge requires 720 degrees
of motion to be complete. In doing this, you will begin to notice that
you are unable to make accurate predictions about this 'strange'
object. it does not fit into any prior experience -unless you have
seen this object specifically, before.

You can make one of these objects for yourself and drive your friends
crazy by doing the following:

  Take a strip of paper about one inch in width and about twelve
  inches long. Twist one end of it a half twist, or 180 degrees and
  connect the ends together. You have now made an 'impossible'
  object. You can bet a friend that he can NOT paint one surface blue
  and the other one red. You can give him a 100 to 1 odds, (a hundred
  bucks to his one dollar) and be absolutely sure of always winning
  the bet. This is because there is ONLY one surface, even though the
  eyes tell you that there are two surfaces.

This is part of what the book [1]"Uni-Chotometrics, A New Way of Life"
is based on. This book, written 30 years ago, was the result of the
author's near death experiences and was his effort to bring NEW
ways of seeing, hearing and feeling the world of Nature. He found that
life, nature, physics, electronics and even the brain can not be
understood and a functional integration made with them as long as we
operate with the concepts of equal and opposite ideas , theories and
beliefs .

Well, that was our weirdness report of the day. More to come in a moment.
