That's why I hate it, I had some quite bad early experiences with it, 
mainly not being able to predict where the hell the thing would be,
I've played with it a lot but don't seem to be able to master it.

I've used looks_like in the title images on my web page, but can't
tell quite what it's doing, the images look good to me so I've left
the looks_like in there, I've tried moving it around, but nothing
seems to move, so I've vowed never to use them again.
