Hmm...  Don't know why, but I keep seeing the lower half as one of those 
Escher-like impossible, inside-out figures.  When I look closely I can 
see it definitely is not, but there's something about the lighting, the 
position or whatever that confuses my eyes.  Rotating it 90 degrees CCW 
helps, but still...  Of course, maybe it's just me.  ;-)

I'll have to look at it again the next time I'm drunk...    ;-)
