I was trying to make a gold texture rendering similar to the golden 'mushy
sphere posted by Tor Olev Kristensen when I accidentally came across an
optical illusion. I always thought you HAD to use a parabolic dish to get
this effect but it seems not .

I've only recently started using PoV again so please excuse any messy code.
Suggestions are always welcome.
