A high sloping sine wave with a narrow duration might pull it of
but you would have to figure out how to recycle it back through
the loop. It's the intereaction with the other blobsd that was
really giving me problems. In most cases a blob in the real lamp
just slides past those that are of a differnt temperature. A blob
in the pov world likes to alter it's shape when it comes into contact
with other blobs.
