HOW TO - Make upside down glasses

Img413 821
If you ever wanted to know what it's like to walk around upside down, The BBC's Might Truck of Stuff has a PDF how-to on making your own upside down glasses - Thanks Gavin! Link.

A pal IMed me and said "The Upside-down goggles thing is very interesting. Did you know there was an experimenter in 1897 by the name of George Stratton who fashioned a pair and wore them for several days ... and eventually his brain learned to correct the image?" - If you do try this out, let us know, thx.
