I have a question for the math/science/computer geeks on my friends like (especially you, fallen). My brother's thesis defense is May 12, and he is graduating in June with a Ph.D. in pure math. I need to get him a graduation gift. It needs to be available via online shopping for obvious reasons, and reasonably priced (read about $20). Anyone have any ideas?

Also, it is strawberry season here. I just got 2 kilos of strawberries for under a dollar. It's cobbler time!

If he's a topologist, he may appreciate some of these items:

Good thinking!

wow that is definitely the perfect gift for him. Wish I had the $80 for the Klein Stein, since drinking is his favorite hobby. I probably will get one of these for him.

Yay for having math geeks on my friend list!
