Something to Ponder

When I was young, Dad warned me not to read in low light. He said the low light would force me to squint, change the focus in my eyes and require glasses in the end. So I was wondering:

Who do you suppose created those Magic Eye posters that were all the rage a few years ago? Perhaps an eye doctor who's business had been slow? Hmmmm...

Flash back! Remember Magic Eye? You'll probably see it soon on a Vh1 "I Love The..." Specials if it's not already out there. No? Don't remember?

It was stupid poster with a consistent, squiggly design. Stare at it long enough until your eyes go out of focus and a 3-D image pops out at you. Only, I never saw an image. Not once.

"Today's the day. I packed a lunch and a soda!"
--William from the movie Mallrats who just couldn't seem to see that darn old sailboat in the poster.
