The
NYT tells of the work of Dr. David Huffman, who brought mathmatical rigor to the art of origami and created some unbelievable shapes out of folded paper:
Dr. Huffman explored structures composed of repeating three-dimensional units - chains of cubes and rhomboids, and complex tesselations of triangular, pentagonal and star-shaped blocks. From the outside, one model appears to be just a rolled-up sheet of paper, but looking down the tube reveals a miniature spiral staircase. All this has been achieved with no cuts or glue, the one classic origami rule that Dr. Huffman seemed inclined to obey.

Mixolydian Mode spotted it first.)
Umie the Umlaut says, "ask your doctor about the Fredösphere!"
