Usually it's the guy driving when this sort of crash happens

Asia Walker Crashed Into House While Getting Carnal With Boyfriend In Car: Police
Their night started with a bang, and ended with a bang.

A Florida couple allegedly getting intimate in their car smashed all the way through a Daytona Beach homeon Friday, according to WESH.

Police say Asia Walker, 30, and her boyfriend lost control of their loins -- and their 2007 Hyundai -- at about 5:30 a.m.

"She told the investigating trooper that her and the boyfriend were getting a little amorous and the trooper suspects that's probably why she lost control of the vehicle," Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes told the station.

Walker slammed into the home, which was unoccupied at the time, in a crash so powerful the windows on the other side of the house blew out, NBC-2 reports.

Walker was injured by falling debris and taken to the hospital with cuts and bruises, the Daily Mail reports. Her boyfriend, Charles Phillips, wasn't hurt.

Walker was charged with careless driving.

It might be a bad sign that when I saw the phrase "Walker Crashed Into House," my first thought was "Cool!! AT-AT or AT-ST?" :geek:

:shock: Considering that all the troopies are clones of the same guy.

:| Well, he was ruggedly handsome...

Actually, Heinlein's "By His Bootstraps" is even more a source for the Gerrold book.

Here I thought of another story, where a professor folded himself into a no-sided object. . . .

There's also the 'A Wrinkle In Time' by Madeleine L'Engle which explores folding the space/time continuum...

"The No-Sided Professor" by Martin Gardner. Included in the collection of math-based SF and fantasy, Fantasia Mathematica.

There is a sequel, "The Island of Five Colors", in which Slapinarski, the Polish topologist who discovers the no-sided figure in the first story, returns, having created an actual mapping of the plane that violates the four-colour theorem and, incidentally, creating a real Klein Bottle.

A Very Big Klein Bottle.

Which has ... interesting effects.

(I think that's in the sequel to Fantasia Mathematica, The Mathematical Magpie, where i also first encountered a chapter from The Phantom Tollbooth. Whether that story is or isn't in the second book, both books are well worth reading for anyone with the slightest interest in mathematics.)

Yes. I read that book, and its sequel, The Mathematical Magpie in High School. Wonderful discoveries.

I've often longed for a tesseract house, like the one described in "--And He Built A Crooked House--"

At least until it folds itself out of reality altogether like in the story.
