In the arms of Möbius

Call me Ishmael...

Sorry, that's Möbius Dick - I meant Moby's Strip.

A Möbius strip is hard to explain. But it's the same principle as Captain James Kirk's warp drive that allowed him to go faster than light - a shame that he didn't use this to escape from the Hawaiians who killed him in 1779.

Or, it's like when Piglet comes across Pooh who is following some Woozle tracks. Piglet helps him but, soon, the tracks show that the Woozle has been joined by another Woozle. And then by a third, smaller, Woozle. Or, possibly, a Wizzle...
