Well some things don't work as well in 2D[0].
But to give you an idea I shall try any way in txt because I am too
drunk (and I have a feelin that even if I were sobar) that I can not
render it properly in 2D, so here goes:  imagin one of those rulers
that look like this:

	  /^\
          ) (    (can you guess which ascii art is not going to make
         //^\\        it to the web page?)
         '   '

And so if you rotate it there is always the mesurment behind the one
in front of you  that is always slightly distant.  Well the 3D
stereogram that I posted from 1996[1] displays the same concept but
instead of one "level" being more distant you are dealing with 4
levels being more distant than the first and each being more distant
then the one prior to it.  A 3D slide rule on acid if you will.  Very
cool in its effect.  Total props to the original illustrator for this
truly remarkable 3d stereo gram that defies first empressions.  When
you first look at it you are expecting something along the lines of a
sunrise but it takes you by suprise and gives you this totaly[2]
unexpected 3D ruller.  Very inspiring that an ascii art can be viewed
two ways (one sterio gram and one non) and be cool on two different
levels (one for those who have two eyes as well as those who only have
one) and still be cool.

[0] if they did I wouldn't have posted it.
[1] 2 whole years before the first record I found
[2] /me docks two points from :F_P: for slang use of totaly[3]
[3] I did mention that I was drunk, right?

Hmm figaro.  Cool ass song.
