The mobius strip.
One can make a mobius strip very easily. First, cut a long strip of paper. Then tape the ends together in such a fashion as to create a mobius strip. If you simply tape the ends together normally, you will get a cylinder-shape. There would be two sides: one on the inside, and one on the outside. If you tape the ends together by flipping one end over (or giving it a half twist), you will get a shape that looks almost warped. On this shape, use a pencil to pinpoint a starting place. Then draw a line following the curves of the mobius strip. If the mobius strip has been made correctly, you will get back to your starting place. This is because the mobius strip is a one sided band.
