Thanks Benjee, I'm glad you liked the video. Bill Nye has always been one of my favorite people to watch for all things science.

Loved Bill Nye when I was a kid. I remember reading an interview of him and he claimed to only drink Land O' Lakes milk because the graphic on it represented infinity. There's a more specific term for it, where a picture repeats itself inside of a picture and conceivably goes on forever like that...which reminds me of a crazy dream I had when I was twelve...anyway, does anybody know what that's called?
Here's a better example of what I mean: When you point a camera at the monitor broadcasting the signal, it creates an endless image. What is it called?

joecroo,

I don't see it in your profile. Did it die in the queue?

....with the camera, thats called video feedback, the endless image created by repetition of the same is called realfreakincool.

It's called the droste effect.
