   This might be a bit hard for some, but I thought it was sort of neat.
Not done yet, and it doesn't work real well so far, but you can 
actually see a bit of 3D to it.  
It's called a stereoscopic picture.

You have to cross your eyes a bit to look at it.  Treat it sort of
like one of those 'Magic Eye' pictures.  You want to cross your 
eyes enough that you see three images, then try to focus on the 
one in the middle.  Good luck :P

	Neat! Took me a while to be able to see it and to keep the focus long enough to not have it fade away to the sides again. It worked best for me at 7x normal size at an eye distance of three times the length of my hand to the screen. Also, to keep my crossed eyes in a relaxed state, so that they wouldn't try to refocus something else, it helped me that I opened my mouth a bit and stuck out my tongue a little and pretended to be Homer Simpson in the mental state that he normally falls into when he's dreaming of donuts or beer.
