This site ( http://205.243.221.9/game.html ) is from a disgruntled Java
programmer concerning BG.  It's a game that allows you to use your mouse
to distort a picture of Bill.  It's pretty neat and a great way to kill
time when you're supposed to be doing something else.

More about 3-D: This site ( http://unmuseum.mus.pa.us/3d.htm ) has 3-D
images and a unique low tech way of viewing them.  (If you can get it to
work, you deserve extra cedit for this course.)
