If you take Physics, you'd know about Polarization. Our eyes are not supposed to be able to detect polarized light, but we can if we know how.

I know this is geeky and nerdy and all (that's why I'm posting it), but it's WAY COOL when you get it to work. It's REALLY worth taking a look. Here's the link:

EDIT: If you're running an LCD monitor (which you probably are), you can see the effect on the monitor itself because there is a polarizer built into the monitor.

BTW Merry Christmas everyone.
