Look at the shadows of the tires.       Or the highlights/shadows on the angled bumper.       Say, for sake of argument that it's 15 degrees from       broadside to the truck. So the sun hits the window       at 15 deg, then bounces off at 15 deg to the mirror       where it is then bounced back at us at whatever       that combined angle is.              Or to look at another way, shoot a laser at the       spot on the mirror, then extrapolate where the       various light bounces happen.              Like look at where we can see the reflection of       the MIRROR in the window.              It probably really is the glowing security orb.       And the cooler in the bed is filled with missing       children to feed the greys. But just to keep them       thinking I haven't caught on, I'm going with the       sun reflection theory.                     Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke              www.n0eq.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
