Nice.  I haven't seen the others, but I like it.  Don't get it, but that only
makes it funnier.

Unfortunately, character animation is not a strong point of POV-Ray.  Seems
though like if you have some good macros to parameterize the spline in time and
accelerate/decelerate, you should be able, with enough tweaking, to get some
smooth motion.  Nothing fundamentally different from what the 'pro packages'
do... 'cept the GUI.
