GOMBOC
1 recommendation
"The gomboc is a mathematical shape discovered recently that always ends up right-side up. What makes it different from an egg? I'm not sure; you'll have to ask the mathematicians. But if you can read Polish (?), you can purchase your very own gomboc for 1000 Euros. A small price to pay for self-righteousness."

The Curta Calculator
1 recommendation
"A small Internet religion surrounds this achingly elegant jewel of mid-century engineering. Like the Shakers, this religion doesn't reproduce, but you have to appreciate the perfection of their deity, nevertheless.
