Echoes Screensaver -Does Anyone else see a sheep?!

Post by bmet »

To those who downloaded the Screensaver of the meadow
with the flying pig: (It was part of the promo for the Echoes
Greatest Hits CD in 2001ish - I can't remember the website
or if it's still avaliable - Keith perhaps you know!!??)
From the moment I've had it I been convinced that the pig
can also pass for a flying sheep as well,particularly when the
pig enters the screen.The right front leg of the pig CAN look
like a sheep's face.The White part of the pig looks like the unsheared
woolly sheep's body.As the pig turns and gets closer to the left
side of the screen it is obvious that it is a pig floating on a slant
-but for a brief time,at the beginning,it could be both!

I'm interested to know if anybody else sees this (or perhaps
it was meant to be that way).Just wondering..... :roll:

I've seen only that bl**dy pig on the rope! I have spent lots of time watching it but I get bored in ten minutes... BTW: I hear weird lamb and bird noises from somewhere. I think I'm losing it... No, I actually hope it.

The Pig/Sheep

Post by bmet »

When the pig enters the screen,try staring directly at the pig.The
(potential) sheep appears to travelling a straight line across the
meadow.Only when the creature comes nearer and closer to the
right side of the screen does the creature become a pig more
precisely.The pig is actually slightly sideways coming in,which is
why the legs cast a shadow on the pig's underbelly.
(I believe the shadow causes an illusion of a sheep when the
object enters the screen).

It's too bad the screensaver couldn't include other things like
other sheep,dogs,or perhaps the inflatable family members
from the '77 Tour.

Yeah, you can't really play the "Southpark" card unless you know the players.
