Entitled "Spider-Man Rocks"
Ah, here it is www.thestudiotour.com/ush/attractions/castletheatre_spidermanrocks.shtml although that would appear to feature non-original songs.
*edit* I just went and watched it on youtube. I really wish I hadn't.

We teamed up with MC Elemental - he of Cup Of Brown Joy fame - to make a thing of terrible beauty- Kitten War. A true epic (no relation to the famous website of the same name).
Weep at the futility of war. Weep at the lost innocence. Weep at the horror...... the horror.......
Use the full screen view - it's wasted on the little view.

although it's actually Polyushko Pole. I'd like to do something with the song of the volga boatmen at some time - i periodically sing it at people. It was one of the first thing i learned to play on the piano when i was a wee nipper.

mildly amusing. But just because it's technically amazing now than it was 100 years ago that doesn't mean you have to be in awe of it. If we done that technology would probably never have evolved in the first place. Things get better and better mainly due to the fact because it out serves its purpose and something better is required.
Let's all devolve!... maybe not.

Or that they pick and choose what to adopt

If you focus on the angle of her head, she has it tilted to the left when she appears to be going anti-clockwise, and the right when she appears to be going clockwise.
Her head should always be tilted the same way.
I must admit it had me going.
Edit: also focus on the arm which is highest. You'll spot the change.
(, Wed 25 Feb 2009, 11:15, Reply)
The differences you described are part of the illusion. Your brain interprets the 3D image and you either perceive her as rotating one way or the other - this affects the perceived positioning of her head and arm.
Tried it ages ago with a few people in the office. Some saw it going clockwise, some anti-clockwise. At the same time.
It's mental. But it's a genuine illusion.
