I've known of Cliff Stoll's glass Klein bottles for a long time. Someday I hope to own one.



He appeared on Numberphile awhile back, but today Adam Savage also shilled him.



And the Amazing Thing That I Learned Today is that he once figured out that the KGB had hacked a national laboratory. NOVA made a special about him. It's weird to see him so young, I'm so used to his Cool Old Guy persona.



Watch his Numberphile videos about the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg or The Millionaire Machine.
