A torus is the locus of points equidistant from a circle in three dimensions (for some reason I still remember this definition verbatim from distant high-school geometry).
If "The Three Princes of Serendip" had been written much later, John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale could have starred in "Ceylonity" or even "Srilankanity."
