you know those really annoying pictures that were popular about 5 years ago, where you could stare at a pattern of corn or crackers or whatever and see a 3-D image? Well, they put them in our daily news here in Japan (apparently they are still a fad here). Craig has been staring at the current one (which is a teacup and saucer) for about 10 minutes. I think his eyes are starting to twitch. ~@>@~ Can anyone explain how to see these things? I told him to look at it like when you look at your two index fingers pointing towards each other and a hot dog appears (or fingertips in the shape of a hot dog). He's going bonkers, and in the process, driving me bonkers!

I used to have serious problems with these until I figured out how to do it. What you do is hold the paper so it is TOUCHING your nose. Notice how the image is now completely out of focus.
Now, slowly move the paper away from your face - but maintain that level of focus.
Posted by: Chris on February 25, 2003 05:54 PMCraig's still got a problem with this, in that he says the paper is still in focus even when it is touching his nose. I think he's just plain bonkers! Maybe his eyes are malfunctioning and everything is in focus all the time (that would actually get kind of annoying because then you couldn't zone out).
