That is such a great idea that I had to do it (attached) :-)

The only thing is, now my initial impression that this whole image
represented a misguided attempt at proctology is only reinforced now. Oh
man, there goes my lunch.

What I really like is that your idea of putting an eye in there gives an
impression of how big the cave really is (or, how small, in this case).

Thank you very, very much for the suggestion!

May I include your name as a credit for the idea in the web-site I
eventually put up for this (everybody's make web-sites these days so I might
as well jump on the bandwagon)? :-)

Does that make this a fish-eye view, then?

Depends if you're a fish or a worm.

Hey, is it just me or does it look like I forgot to antialias this image?

BTW: Just to give credit where credit is due, I got the phrase for this from
a song by Men Without Hats called "Hey Men". Not a great song, IMHO, but I
liked the line :-)

I definitely want to. It wasn't my idea and you deserve credit!

The Source-Code-Link does not work. I would like to get the source-code very
much, is there any way to get it?
