And Speaking of Tori

I'm not sure which I like more about this site -- the title "The Elliptical Torus of Revolution", or the text:

This torus is freaky. It has a circle of self-intersection and two highly singular points. I will have more to say about this soon.

Although I think both would be even better laid out to emphasize their poetic qualities:

The Elliptical Torus of Revolution

This torus is freaky.

It has a circle of self-intersection

and
two highly
singular points.


I will have more to say about this soon.


Oh, and there is an mpeg of the elliptical Torus family, but I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that it wasn't shot in Super 8, with a scene of the youngest Torus blowing out the candles on her birthday cake.
