1) When you look at a tree and admire its realism. 

2) You look at everyday objects in terms of POV primitives. 

3) You look at everyday objects and wonder how they did that. 

4) You look at photographs and wonder what they would be like
rotated.

5) ...

I was wondering how long it would take until someone posted another lot of
these :)

I always wonder what these message would look like using Hammer Fat over
a shiny T_Stone21 plane with area lighting?

1. When your wife asks you what color dress she should wear and you reply:
"red 0.75 green 0.25 blue 0.75"
2. When you try to convince others it's Indigo, not Dark Blue!
3. When you comment, looking at the reflection of the sun in someone's
glasses, "Nice seculars!", and they think you are complementing them on
their glasses.
4. When you're sitting around drinking apple juice from a glass:
  a) Admiring the photons
  b) Wondering what the IOR of the glass is
  c) Wondering what the transparency of the juice is
  d) Considering how much easier the glass would have been to model if it
had only been a perfect cylinder
5. When you try to impress other by explaining to them that this cool,
complex, new rendered scene was all designed in your head and scripted
without any tools, by trial and error alone.
6. When you come up with yet another fun scene consisting of a plane and
intricately arranged (glass/metal/liquid) balls.
7. When you spend a week waiting for a scene to render, just to see if the
change in radiosity settings count from 200 to 400 made the lighting less
blotchy.

And, you really need serious help, when:

8. You're looking at a bagel, thinking x^4 + y^4 + z^4 + 2 x^2 y^2 + 2 x^2
z^2 + 2 y^2 z^2 - 2 (r0^2 + r1^2) x^2 + 2 (r0^2 - r1^2) y^2 - 2 (r0^2 +
r1^2) z^2 + (r0^2 - r1^2)^2 = 0, and wondering how much more perfect it
would be if only the baker used the sturmian root solver while shaping it.
