“So wuddya think?” said the kid who brought me a photocopied sheet of paper.

This is amazing, I shrieked!

“Thought you might like it, being the artist and all.”

Can I borrow it and bring it back to you in a couple days? Just to make my own copy.

“Sure,” he said.

Later that day during recess, I sat with the thing and fiddled with it in a feeble attempt to understand the magic behind how it worked. How is it even possible that a simple sheet of paper featuring four pigs laid out in grid, when folded a certain way, would magically turn into the face of Saddam Hussein?! What strange sorcery was this?!
