RIP our little Grace Anne.
A cute, elderly, fawn-colored puggle is wearing a high visibility bright yellow Coyote Vest with punk rock-style spikes attached to it for protection. Her name is Grace Anne. She has large, floppy ears that feel like a soft brown velvet. She nearly looks like a puppy, but the white fur around her eyes and nose betrays her age. She is standing at the top of some grey-painted wooden stairs that lead down into a sunny patch of grass that is shaded by a few large out-of-frame pine trees. She is looking back towards the photographer while nervously licking her nose, unsure about this new outfit. At the bottom of the stairs there is a grey concrete landing and a wooden gate with black hinges swung open. The gate is painted the same color as the stairs. On the vest, there is a row of spikes circling her neck and two parallel strips of spikes running long-ways down her back, slightly off-center. There is a third velcro strip running down the middle of her back, which can be used to add optional porcupine-y spines that are not present in the photo. The photographer is standing on a wooden deck that is painted the same grey color and connected to the top of the stairs. He is encouraging Grace to scamper down the stairs and do her business, which she will eventually do. Grace loved being outside on this deck. As she got older, she lost most of her senses, but her nose remained sharp to the very end. She would lie out here in the sun for hours, just sniffing around, occasionally barking at some smelled but unseen critter. Approximately two years after this photo was taken, Grace was 16 years old and her body started to give out all at once. We unfortunately had to put her down. A vet came to our home so we could say goodbye on her favorite deck. A year later, our (now) 3 year old daughter occasionally asks about Grace: "Where's Gracie? Did she go home?" She did.

I think the mathematicians use wikipedia as a way to prank normal people.
A screenshot of the Fiber Bundle wikipedia article which opens with inscrutable math gibberish, then tries to relate the math gibberish to a hairbrush. It does not help the reader to understand.

There is a market for it.
