Well, I do have a sight good enough to become a fighter pilot (though I
abandoned that path after 1 week in military school), but I do have
difficulties seeing those "secret pictures". In fact, when I see them, they
appear inversed to me (what should be in front appears back, and vice-versa). I
don't know where it comes from...
