Brilliant piece of retro-SF!!
Now... was this written as a result of the Bullseye, or... was the Bulleye
inspired by this text? (just curious)

After reading John's, I wonder what this is. A porthole or.... a piece of
your washing machine...? :-)
In any case, I like it.

but was lost for words. Nice one John. And nice one Meothuru, thought
provoking!

I wrote it after looking at the picture for about a minute.

The image inside the porthole looks to me like something drawn with pastels.
I like it!

Excellent pastiche! It immediately generated visions of 50's, 60's magazine
covers, with the mad scientist, the dumb blonde (or the gorgeous redhead),
and the invincible adventurer :-)

Among other things, Meothuru saw fit to write:
> A Pre-Breakfast graphic ;-)
Is this really called "bullseye" in English? It is in Spanish, but in
English I thought that was the center of a target for darts...

In the English language "bullseye" has several meanings dependant on the
context. The centre of a target for darts is one of them and this image could be
described as a bullseye. In fact it is :-)
My favourite is a large, round peppermint flavoured sweet. Incidentally, darts
are sometimes called arrows because originally it was arrows that were thrown at
the target.

No....this graphic should be a something like a porthole...and
not a center of a darts target - or a glass of a washing-machine ;-)
(the german word is: "Bullauge" --> Bulls-eye. A translation mistake
of me)
The image behind the glass is simply an image of another rendered
picture. In this backgroundpicture I tested some media-options, by
overlaying two heighfields(from the same hf-image). And one of the
heightfields was used as a blue light emitting media.This brings
this pastell-effect.

It means either the center of the target, or the pattern of concentric rings
painted around it. It can also refer to any metaphorical target, for
example, Tek getting his boat *exactly* right; or the K-type subgiant star
Alpha Tauri, also called Aldebaran, which rises in the evening at this time
of year, right behind the Pleiades.
But if you say "bullseye" in French ("oeil-de-boeuf"), then it means a round
window in English. At least that's what my (American) English-language
dictionary says. Don't expect any Parisian to recognize the phrase after
we butcher it, though.
English is like that. :-p
