4 Fun
Concentrate on the four
dots in the middle of the picture for about 35 seconds. Then quickly close your eyes
and tilt your head back. You will see a light circle. Continue looking at the
circle. What do you see?
Hint: It works best
in a well lit room, or if you tilt your head back with your eyes under a light source.
If you don't see anything right away, try again.
Pink Floyd's Tribute to the Wizard of Oz
A number of eerie coincidences can be found when Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of
the Moon" CD
is synched with The Wizard of Oz.
The coincidence eeirily begins when the album says, "... Look around ..."
which prompts Dorothy to look around.
As the line "balanced on the biggest wave" from Breathe is uttered, Dorothy
teeters on the rail of the pig-sty.
She then breaks into a trot just as the line "No one told you when to run"
from Time is heard.
The chimes in Time go off at the appearance of Mrs Gulch (Wicked Witch of
the West) on the bicycle and the chimes stop when she gets off the bike.
"I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell
that rings and things to make it look good ..."
"... Home, home again ..." as Professor Marvel tells Dorothy that she needs
to go back home.
To experience the coincidences first hand:
Turn the sound of the film all the way down, and turn the sound of the CD up
as high as you can stand.
It will probably take you a few tries to get the sync lined up just right so
be patient. First load the Dark Side of the Moon CD into your CD player and
hit PLAY (>) and then immediately hit PAUSE (II) so it is cued up and ready
to roll. Be sure also to set your CD player for continuous replay. In most
CD players this is done by hitting the "REPEAT" button twice. Hitting it
once will usually repeat only the presently playing track so hit the button
two (2) times and it will replay the CD over and over. The CD will play
roughly two and a quarter times through the entire length of the movie.
Now start the video and fast forward past all the preview junk (about five
minutes worth on the THX version) at the beginning and watch for the THX
Digital logo to pop up. Now get the tape to the very beginning where the
BLACK & WHITE MGM lion roars. After the BLACK &WHITE MGM Lion roars for the
THIRD (3rd) time IMMEDIATELY hit the play button on the CD player.
Enjoy Pink Floyd's Tribute to the Wizard of OZ.
