Running rings around the moon

Talking about threads- I have just found a piece of cord on my shorts that when I pull it- it gets longer. Doesn't seem to have an end yet.

Stop pulling the cord/thread now!

Wait until you are out on a ride, say 30 miles from home, and then explore the length of the thread.

And there's even something cycling related... the lead-in to the afternoon show.

Those were the days!

The top video on this page isn't his typical tricycle entrance, but he was on a swing bike...

And it goes along with the thread's theme too.

The universe is unbounded but finite, as if you were a lonely molecule on a basketball. You will travel forever, never seeing anything twice in exactly the same way, yet your travels are limited by the universe presented to you in the form of a giant basketball. And your journey will never end.

Unless you get tired and bag the whole thing.
