Here are a couple of good limericks I picked up quite some time ago.
Sorry I can't quote the source of them, but I don't remember it.

A mathematician confided
That a Mobius band is one-sided,
	And you'll get quite a laugh
	If you cut one in half,
For it stays in one piece when divided.


A mathematician named Klein
Thought the Mobius band was divine.
	Said he, "If you glue
	The edges of two,
You'll get a weird bottle like mine."


Happy computing...
