Not unless somebody copyrights it!

Proofreading and error spotting!  Might be a quick way to visually check
exam answers of the fill-in-the-circles style, if you have a correctly
completed sample for comparison.  No "key" with holes, or machine scanning
required.

I sometimes fuse the faces of the bride and groom in newspaper engagement
announcements to see what their kids will look like.  Morphing on a
budget.

Nice trick.  I suspect that people who are drawn to stereo are the same
kind who gravitate to magic (the entertainment variety, not the New Age
kind).  Must start start dreaming up tricks, or better yet bar bets, where
the secret is based on stereoscopic decipherment!

The local TV news once announced an escaped inmate.  For some odd reason
they showed two shots of him side by side, taken from slightly different
angles on separate occasions.  I instantly thought, "Fuse that man!"
I figure I'm the only citizen who would have recognized him in 3-D. 

If I want to see how I would look with a moustache (or horns or a halo or
antennae) I draw one on a blank sheet of paper, and fuse it with a photo
of my bare face.

The hexagonal tiles on my bathroom floor are amusing in stereo, when I
have nothing else on my mind. 

Any more tales of spontaneous fusion reactions?

Bruce
