Here is a brilliant article on Mobius strips: fecalpit.deadmoose.com september fifteenth: of bees and mobius strips... ...she wears her flesh as ribbons in her hair... bees are strange. bees and everything else... if you really wanted to, you could go find a beehive, and every night, while the bees are sleeping, move it two inches from where it had been sitting that day. then, in the morning, the bees would go about their little bee duties without being disoriented at all. further, you could take that beehive and drag it two miles during the night, and the next day the bees will go do their thing without any problems. however, if you were to go in there at night and move that hive two yards from where it was, in the morning the bees would be absolutely and fatally confused. when you move the hive a matter of inches, the environment is not really changed, and the bees do just fine. when you move it miles away, they notice the obvious displacement and alteration of environment, and therefore reorient themselves to the new environment, accepting the change. when the movement is a couple of yards, though, the environment does not seem to have been changed, and the bees do not reorient themselves. upon returning from foraging, they will hover about the empty space where the hive used to be, not recognizing the hive that sits a mere two yards away as their own. and then they die. i could metaphorize this, but it's not really necessary, is it? life is like a mobius strip. but i like mobius strips...
