It is said that life is just an illusion, but sometimes illusions
just come to life! See for yourself.
First, let's take a three dimentional image of 'an upside down U':
,a,
,ad8""Y8a,
,ad8"" "Y8a,
,ad8"" "Y8a,
,ad8"" "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8a, "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8"" "8Y8a, "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8"" 8 "Y8a, "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8"" 8 "Y8a, "Y8a,
ad8Y" ,ad8"" ,ad88a, "Y8a, "Y8a,
8 "Y8a, ,ad8"" ,ad8"" "Y8a, ,ad8"" ,ad8"8
8 "Y8ad8"" ,ad8"" Y888"" ,ad8"" 8
8 8" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" 8
8 8 ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,8
"Y8a, 8 ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
"Y8a8ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
"Y" ad8Y" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
8 "Y8a, ,ad8"" ,ad8""
8 "Y8ad8"" ,ad8""
8 8" ,ad8""
8 8 ,ad8""
"Y8a, 8 ,ad8""
"Y8a8ad8""
"8"
Then, let's take 3 cylinders of the same width:
,dPPRg,
,ad8"" `Yb
,ad8"" (8
,ad8"" ,adP
,ad8"" ,ad8""
,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,dPPRg,
,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" `Yb
,gPPR8, ,ad8"" ,ad8"" (8
dP' `Yb ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,adP
8) (8,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
Yb d8P" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,dPPRg,
"8ggg8" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" `Yb
,gPPR8, ,ad8"" ,ad8"" (8
dP' `Yb ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,adP
8) (8,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
Yb d8P" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
"8ggg8" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
,gPPR8, ,ad8""
dP' `Yb ,ad8""
8) (8,ad8""
Yb d8P"
"8ggg8"
Now, let's merge the two together and this is what we get:
,a,
,ad8""Y8a,
,ad8"" "Y8a,
,ad8"" "Y8a,
,ad8"" "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8a, "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8"" "8Y8a, "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8"" 8 "Y8a, "Y8a,
,ad8"" ,ad8"" 8 "Y8a, "Y8a,
,gPPR8, ,ad8"" ,ad88a, "Y8a, "Y8a,
dP' `Yb ,ad8"" ,ad8"" "Y8a, ,ad8"" ,ad8"8
8) (8,ad8"" ,ad8"" Y888"" ,ad8"" 8
Yb d8P" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" 8
"8ggg8" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,8
,gPPR8, ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
dP' `Yb ,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
8) (8,ad8"" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
Yb d8P" ,ad8"" ,ad8""
"8ggg8" ,ad8"" ,ad8"" Normand
,gPPR8, ,ad8"" Veilleux
dP' `Yb ,ad8""
8) (8,ad8""
Yb d8P"
"8ggg8"
Get the picture? :-)
This was inspired by the following graphic:

Not *blind*, but perhaps just lonely? ;)
