Very good - a more sophisticated take on the Neck-a-Cube from Rudy Rucker's The Fourth Dimension (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8J0djs-FK_8C&pg=PA47&lpg=PA47&dq=neck-a-cube+rudy+rucker&source=bl&ots=WBBun3wte8&sig=bJ60oppaFQUcStnn6a3t2r6ZAyk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eUS9UpdGy4eFB7fIgKAD&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=neck-a-cube%20rudy%20rucker&f=false).

It's staggering, the human brain's overwhelming desire to make a face where one doesn't really exist.

After the Midhurst 600 I started to hallucinate, and every single tree had a face.  If I hadn't been forewarned about the effects of sleep-deprivation I would have been rather scared by it.
