1. Tibetan monks immolate themselves as protest or just plain fun? Weird statement, but we've all seen images of it. That happened.

2. Have you ever actually seen a monk levitate?

What is this? It looks cool and I've never noticed it before. It's either 4 overlapped triangles or else it's a Star of David: http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/tloimgs/yantra1.gif

and yes, I am spock.

Incidentally, meditation this morning was sa-weeet (don't you hate it when people write/say that?). It might have been the glass of fresh celery juice that I don't usually drink (supposed to have a natural pick me up like ginseng or something). I had some extra that was going to spoil the fruit punch by making it taste too celeryish, so I drank it. Anyway, I thought I was going to buzz right off the floor. Also, I meditate like a tripod, with a hand on each knee, palm down on left, palm up w/fingers touching on right. For some reason, buddhists cup their hands around their balls. It's so uncomfortable that way. Which way do you do it? And did you ever feel like you were about to leave the planet?

I can only see 3 triangles.

One larger one in the middle, three smaller ones around the edge, all point upwards.

"Who needs degrees?", indeed. Tsch.

I like the triangle I see 4 of them and a star as well :) To comment on the great thread... I've seen a deer fly or two... :) Lol couldn't resist sorry.

I liked tis one! :) Where's your sense of humor? LOL

― Gale Deslongchamps, Saturday, 22 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry, I thought you were quoting from Dumbo, like the title. It's a good one! I like that Dumbo song: "I seen ah... horse fly... I seen a deer fly, but I ain't never seen an elephant fly!"

I thought that too.

― Kodanshi, Saturday, 22 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Lol I like those too! :) :)

two years pass...

I see 4 triangles, the star of David(especially when I squint) and the results of a way to use up time.

― mark barnes, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

there are 11 triangles there.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

13.

i can only see 11 triangles.

It flips. I love these things. HSA collects visual and auditory illusions, so here's another one for his collection!

(The one with the warped box sculpture thing which leaps out into 3D is my fave at the moment.)

― Super-Kate (kate), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I see 11 as well.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:47 (twenty-one years ago)

13 it is

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Aarrgghhh, I can't see the other 2!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Where are they?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

... but more like 12 and an almost triangle

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, you're right, it is 11 and two near misses

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I'm right, it is 13!!!!!!!!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, I got number 12, still looking for number 13.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:49 (twenty-one years ago)

... you want a clue?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 08:53 (twenty-one years ago)

yes!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:01 (twenty-one years ago)

There's one inverted triangle, have you got that yet?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i only see 12, too. got the inverted one, the four obvious ones, the six small ones, and the large one made by the four obvious ones

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Hold on, now I only see 12, I've managed to lose the 13th one... bear with me

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:07 (twenty-one years ago)

charlatan!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been a damned impetuous fool - I can only see 12!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i'VE GOT 12.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:11 (twenty-one years ago)

so've I.

― sgs (sgs), Thursday, 8 April 2004 09:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Now I'm convinced I saw 13 and have lost the ability, nay the FAITH, to see that 13th triangle
