Using Morse theory, we prove that a skew brane cannot lie on a quadratic hypersurface. We also prove that there are no skew loops on embedded ruled developable discs in 3-space. The paper extends recent work by M. Ghomi and B. Solomon.13 pages, 2 figuresDifferential Geometry53A05, 53C50, 58E05On skew loops, skew branes and quadratic hypersurfacestext
