Description
...is that i can do things like this
Edit: ok i give in, i've removed the nasty looking background
the stares just keep going going up and up
this was a lot harder to make than you would think
trying to work out how to make it so the stares keep going up was realy hard 
over all this emote took ages
a good 2 1/2 hours working out how to do it and then another hour or so actualy making it 
anyway, dont stare at it for too long otherwise you mite get a head ake
Hope you like

this is based on M.C.Escher's "the tower" ( I think that's what it is called)
where all the guards keep walking around in circles right?
am i right? this is neat in any case!

the forever stairs: "Ascending and Descending" by Escher. look it up if you want

M. C. Escher, Lionel Penrose, and now you, have screwed up all truths I've ever held to three-dimentional perception...
That's impossible! AHHHH!!!

the reason theat it works the way it does is because it's in isometric and has no perspective

I subtly hinted it when I said "impossible" as in "impossible object", an optical illusion of a 2D figure that can be visually interpreted as a 3D figure...That's what Lionel Penrose and Roger Penrose did when they created the Penrose stairs...M. C. Escher was influenced on that method and expanded the Penrose stairs into many of his lithographs...
Neither, however, used color or animated smilies to keep people from thinking too deep or analytically about the concept of perspective...While Escher's Relativity had me staring at it for quite some time in order to grasp my mind around the piece, if I stare at your animation too long, then the smilie will start to drive me nuts...
If I were that smilie, I'd jump after a few rounds
