This reminds me of some drawing I did a long long time ago that I drew using just
one line on the page.
Some of the torii look like they have different radii from the attached cylindii
(err, cylinders, sorry about that). Is this an accurate observation or just an
optical illusion brought on from too many donuts and too much blood in my caffeine
system?

  If you look at the source code you will see that all objects have the
same radius.
