One day my grandmother was out, and my grandpa was in charge of me.

I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as a gift, and it was one of my favorite toys.

Grandpa was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought him a little cup of tea, which was just water.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my grandmother came home.

My grandpa made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was ‘just the cutest thing!’

Grandmother waited, and sure enough, here I came down the hall with a cup of tea for grandpa……… and she watched him drink it up.

Then she said, (as only a grandmother would know),

“Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?”

Another myth busted?

Video Description:

The movie demonstrates the depth ambiguity of the silhouette in the centre which can be interpreted in two ways. The two interpretations differ in the perceived order of the surfaces of the body in depth as can be seen in the figure on the right. The left column illustrates the interpretation in which we look at the figure’s back in the first frame (top). As a consequence, the figure rotates clockwise as we go though the sequence of frames (from top to bottom), and we look at it from a slightly elevated viewpoint (10 deg). In the right column we illustrate the other interpretation. We look at the front of the figure in the first frame, the figure rotates counter-clockwise, and the viewpoint is 10 deg from below.
