I love stereograms

Stereograms are pictures that have been specially altered so that if you stare at them in a certain way, you will see a 3D image. Click on the image and then as you look at the picture change the focus of your eyes. When you think you start to see something, focus on it and the image should instantly appear.

New 'old' dance

Here is an 'old' dance by Jo Thompson Szymanski called Come Dance with Me. Instead of using the suggested track 'Come Dance with Me' by Nancy Hayes, these folks are doing it to the song "Was That The Human Thing To Do?" by Nat King Cole. What a wonderful song to dance it to!
