A charming video story on a Möbius strip, by Vi Hart (via Michael Nielsen).
Besides the undeniable cleverness, there is some deeper metaphorical message here. Take it for what you will.

A wit comparable to none other than Lewis Carroll. Humorous and deep. Brilliant!
Brilliant!
Absolutely charming. I love this.
Lol awesome.
Vi Hart is my very favorite mathematician. She might just be the 21st century’s Martin Gardner.

Awesome, simple and intricate at the same time.
Brilliantly done!
It’s been a long time since I folded paper and started cutting it 🙂
delightful indeed!… Vi has been getting a lot of play lately in math circles… if you missed it, even the NY TIMES did a piece on her recently:

[she describes herself at her own site here: http://vihart.com/vi/ ]
she calls herself a “recreational mathemusician” (she was a college music major who NEVER took a math course!), and while no one can fully replace Martin Gardner, she’s certainly stepped into some of the gap he left.
I’d urge Ms Wind to moderate her hopes of a future with Mr Ug. His orientation is rather questionable.
Very nice. This mathemusician (I think that is spelled right.) has me doodling all the time. I have been looking at integral signs (not just single ones) for years and never thought they looked like rope.
Martin Gardner never took a college math course either.
He’d have greatly enjoyed her work, I’m sure.
