Little Known Facts About KW Members

[Auleliel]

I have had exactly 2 magic eye pictures work for me. Only one of those could I get to work more than once. I still like to look at the pretty colors though.

[Cagliostro]

Magic Eye things work for me, so I'm part of the conspiracy. It took me a while to get the first one to work, but eventually I trained myself to be able to see them.

As for karaoke naysayers, s'like anything - fun for some, not for others. Some people want the attention, some don't. Some people don't realize it is fun until they try it either. My ex-wife enjoyed doing karaoke even though she didn't have much a singing voice, while my last ex-girlfriend, who had a pretty decent singing voice, was terrified of trying it. I finally convinced her one night after we broke up, and she was mortified but kinda excited by it. I don't know if she'll ever try it again, but she couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. My current girlfriend loves it, at least in the comfort of home, and is a good singer, although she doesn't know how to sell the rock songs as much as the ballads or showtunes. But she does have a fantastic voice. I think it is all dependant on how much you want to be on stage. And for some people it is also the amount of cheese they can stand. I like cheese, and I like to be an ass in front of people, so it works for me.

I was never able to do those Magic Eye thingies.

You know? The pictures that if you looked at them long enough, another picture would show up...Never EVER had one work for me.

I'm with you my friend. I'm convinced that those things were just one big hoax.

Look through it. Seriously, focus on something across the room, then raise the picture to eye-level without changing your focus. (Don't look at the picture, keep looking at the now occluded object.)

I suspect that people with eye problems might have difficulty...the GF (who wears glasses) can't see them at all either. Me, I can see them instantly every time, by looking through the picture.

When I do see them, I see them by crossing my eyes, looking at the picture, and then slowly uncrossing them.
But then, I wear glasses, so it might not work for anyone else.

I've always been able to do them, easily. People with one eye strongly dominant usually have trouble, I've heard (I'm right-eye dominant, but only to a normal extent). I find stereograms pretty interesting in general--they way they use repeating patterns with different spacing to fool your depth perception, and so on.

Hmm. Those who have difficulty with them, can you do the ones where it's a simple set of repeating images, not a hidden image? Like this:

The three types of image, when viewed the way you look at magic eye stuff, appear to be on three different planes.

One of the ways I got to do it so easily was by looking at repeating image ones and shifting my focus so that two adjacent ones overlapped, then again so the ones I focused on were 1 image apart, then 2, and so on. It gets harder as you move your eyes further apart. (Remember that crossing your eyes is the opposite of what you do with these things--I can cross my eyes a lot further than I can seperate them.)

[Wyldewode]

I never have problems with the magic eye pictures.

Is something supposed to happen with this one?

[I'm Murrin]

When you look at it right, the rows should appear to be at different distances--the central line in front, the ones either side a little further back, and the top and bottom ones furthest away. What I do is look at one o the dogs in the central row, and adjust my focus until it overlaps perfectly with the one beside it.

[Auleliel]

Hmm... It doesn't seem to be working for me.

[CovenantJr]

I've never been able to do Magic Eye, and I can't do this thing either.

Sorry, did we already go over this?

[Cameraman Jenn]

That's pretty!

...I hate my middle name...

[Wyldewode]

My mom and I share a middle name.

[thefirst]

I share a middle name with several members of my family, though I believe Menolly is one of the only watchers to actually know what it is.

And I still think your family history behind it is fascinating.
