#1 These tools are a little short on their Euclid. The shortest distance between you and your Temple of Elemental Evil is neither a straight line on a map nor those apparently bendy lines followed by aircraft over the Pole. It is, rather, a straight line through the Earth's crust/mantle. This should be obvious to the average Morlock but they may find they need Eloi tech to get their new compass directions right.

#2 Wait till one gets stuck in a Klein bottle and prayer time rolls along.

#4 I can't find the article, but I covered this in a sermon a few years ago. I even covered the issue of praying to Mecca from orbit. These guys are amateurs.

#5 You guys think that you know all the answers, try finding the right direction to Mecca when you are at the point diametrically opposed to Mecca on the other side of the world. It is similar to the problem of which south do you pick when at the North Pole, and someone tells you to head south.

#7 For ed, the Acme Klein Bottle Company. I got one for my baby brother the supercomputer guy for Hanukkah a few years ago, and another for Mr. Wife. Ours still appears embedded in our particular bit of the space-time continuum, but I'd be a bit concerned were we to live in an area with an earthquake problem. ;-)

#8 What if the 9/11 hijackers had gone to the Mobius Strip Club, where the girls never finish undressing, and you can never get out?
