The World According to Butter.

Here's a corny line from my Perception teacher, where I'm filling in the blanks because I don't remember the actual joke.

Lobsters are those big bug type things. You know, like ocean creatures that have exoskeletons and six legs. Actually, I don't care. They all taste the same dipped in butter...

Insert something knowledgable about an upsidedown world, George Stration, optical re-inversion, funny goggles, mirror's innate left-to-right symmetry, and the optical disk's blind spot.

I like the blnid spot experiment. It's where there are spokes to a wheel, which composes a pattern, but the middle of the wheel is blank. When you place the center of the wheel at your blind spot, your mind fills in the gap and pretends that the spokes continue. I like that system where you brain doesn't really not know anything. It's a great fail safe. You always know something.
