It's actually very easy to construct one of those, but your camera has to be absolutely in the perfect position for it to work. Also, it won't work in 3D.
 
lol Even the puppies look confused.
And no Wolly, not a holiday per-say, but spring has hit! Today we broke record highs, with 78 degrees. So I found myself outside playing today.
