Binding Fun
You know how it is with fun. One day, you're just playing around. The next day, you discover an art form. Like bookbinding.
Which reminds you that those wonderful clacking Jacob's Ladders you used to play with were also a kind of bookbinding.
Which of course reminds you that so were those amazing flexagons you just might have been lucky enough to play with when you were a kid. Remember? Out of a single strip of paper? Which you'd fold and then paste and then unfold endlessly until you rediscovered the endlessly binding and unfolding mysteries of basically everything.
