Codepoetica the Yule-time Squirrel

Much grinning is due to Kitty’s ever-inspiring awesomeness. It must be established, and illustrated, at some point, just how this little rodent maintains his links to the wired.

    “The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (Steinhaus 1999, p. 229). It is for this reason that squirrels chasing one another up and around tree trunks follow helical paths.”
