They'd probably work better if I didn't have a glass eye.

This one is really, really cool! Get about 6 inches from you monitor and stare for a while letting you eyes focus. You will see the cool 3D effect.... >:-)

Another unmentioned effect, that I just discovered is this: While you have the 3D focus, without losing it, put you finger up between you and the monitor, without touching the monitor. It gives the illusion of being able to actually touch the 3D effect. This is so cool!!!! >:-)

(heheh And I was thinking it was just old age...)

Those are really cool. I try to pinpoint the moment I go from not seeing the 3D images to seeing them, but it just happens in a no blink of the eye.

5 ft, nothin... I'm about 1 ft from it. I must really be in a bad shape. :(

That's really strange, the colors look different.

Here's an optical illusion for ya :D
[Edit] You have to stand back around five foot from your monitor to read it.

Isn't that mostly the same? Coding too much => ignoring potential partner => no sex => bad eyes

LOL! I guess one does lead to the other.


And I think we can reverse that:
Bad eyes => ignoring/not seeing potential partner => no sex => coding because no partner to have sex with! And on it goes!
