If you follow the surface with your finger, starting from the outside, you can end up on the inside, without traversing the surface. There is only one surface, no concept of outside or inside, contrary to a good old cube for instance.

Similar to a Moebius strip but with a higher dimension. A MS is easier to understand since you can easily make one to try to run your finger on the surface and end up anywhere.

Yeah but it was written on a Möbius strip and we're still not sure where the beginning and where the end was.

This could easily be avoided by resigning after the second move.

Praying is a little bit like music though... Now that I think of it, breathing has this weird rhythmic quality. Maybe ban it plz?

Very sensible, thank you. I've seen a picture of a flower today, I'm still shaking. Witchcraft!

Only doctor? The neighbour's son is archdoctor! The family is dishonoured.

Have you ever torn up a giant tower disguised as a tree? Have you ever flooded and drowned thousands of orcs and goblins in anger, Peter? I was in the SAS during the war, Peter, and you can't imagine what I've seen and what I've done. I have goblin blood on my hands, and I feel no remorse. Would you like to know how a goblin squeals when he drowns, Peter? It's like a symphony of terror.

Which he spells thusly, with two D's

 

I'm trying to find the author and the title of a painting that I vaguely remember.

The painting shows a man painting a woman. It looks like an ordinary self portrait but if you look closer you will see that the painted woman has an arm going out of the picture and is directing the arm of the painter.

I think the painted woman was the master of the male painter?

I think it's from Italy, 17th century (very vague reminiscence here)?

I keep thinking about Artemisia Gentileschi but can't find any link to something similar

Any help would be appreciated, it's driving me crazy
