The prefix "strepto" means "chain" and the suffix "nym" means "word." I chose the plural since a construction of this type would always require a series of words.

A circle (or say a ring) has no beginning or end. It has 2 sides which makes it different from the Mobius strip.

The line about not being able to finish it played off the idea that a Möbius strip has no beginning or end.Waynohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786587436381629626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21509674.post-88213362469134006642011-06-28T07:34:30.109-04:002011-06-28T07:34:30.109-04:00I really like this comic but I'm not sure why ...I really like this comic but I'm not sure why this steak would be a problem.
