    You should watch them make the giant bottles they use custom built torches that use acetylene to do the neck bend. I would love to own a huge one and the micro one.

    Klein bottles are something you have to understand the underlying math behind to get as pumped as he is about them. I am not a math wizard but from what I gather they are a 4th Dementional function represented in 3d. Just like he gets pumped about the Möbius strip . I find them interesting I like them I enjoy math and geometry but alas as you can tell by my grammar and spelling I dropped out of school. But I do like reading about these subjects and have many books about lots of math guys. Most of them worked on or there work was used in developing computers or the atomic bomb. I don't think human kind had ever put more effort and funds into anything . Even the space age drew upon the advanced mathematics used on the bomb.

    If you need to make it functional, the opening is the bowl, the skinny neck piece faces away from the user and add stem on opposite side. Then it would be kein bottle inspired, can't have klein bottle with two openings, but you maintain the math nerd feeling.

    I love the genius brain.
    I myself am not that smart, but it just so happens that the definition of a klein bottle is the same as a harpentuan.
