    That's amazing, Roger, it is almost perpetual motion isn't it?

    Yeah, that guy has too much time on his hands Here's another link, showing the secret behind Escher's waterfall, and other shapes. If you like woodworking click on that link to see how a guy makes wood versions of some of the shapes using a numerically controlled router.
