This past weeks discoveries around the net.
Mobius Strip: I discovered this while trying to think of a potential name for a business if I ever start one. For people who do not know what this is, you can make one yourself by taking a strip of paper and twisting it once, then bringing the two ends together and taping, or gluing them. What has happened is you have created an endless loop. No matter where you start, you will always end back at your starting point. I have attempted to create this using AutoCAD, but it is rather difficult without knowing the 3D aspect of the software.

Klein Bottle: After reading extensively about the Mobius Strip, I was lead to discovering the Klein Bottle. This is taking a Mobius Strip and cutting along its length and folding it together.

Julian Beever Pavement Drawings: I am sure many people have seen these before as they have been reported on many times. He is an artist that creates incredible drawings on sidewalks around the world depicting all sorts of products and thoughts in his imagination. There have been times that he has had trouble with the law and not allowed to complete them.
Joshua Hoffine Horror Photography: This man has an incredible imagination, not unlike Julian Beever, but uses photography as his median. Not only does he come up with some scary ideas, but his crew and friends that help him bring his thoughts to life are amazing.

I would love to see one of Julian Beever's creations in real life, they are ridiculous. The Klein bottle is interesting. Love the comic.
