   I usually get the geeky humor, but i cant get this one. And google isnt helpful. Anyone care to give a fellow geek a hint ? :)

   I’m just going to let the bad joke about the Tube Lemma make itself.

   Abby–these tubes appear to be partitioning some space.

   teayourself: Munkres wrote a really sweet Topology book that most grad students see at some point in mathematical life.

   Hooray!!! I have a 1974 copy of Munkres’ that I first stumbled upon in my Freshman year of college. By the time I was finished with his excellent introduction to set theory and logic I had already decided I wanted to be a mathematician.
