Camera Obscura is not a band.

I never thought about what it really is, but I was watching this documentry and then I learnt - Camera Obscura is an optical device! Wikipedia says, the device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside where it is reproduced, upside-down, but with color and perspective preserved. The image can be projected onto paper, and can then be traced to produce a highly accurate representation. It's basically your early camera.

okay y'all prolly already knowww this, so fine.

Is is weird that I'm pretty excited about the National Geographic showing 6hours of programmes about the pearl habour bombing on monday. I love documentaries on history (okay, I like history anyway) especially after our history teacher taught us about the Cold War through this series of vcds. The whole intro of every episode was this long corridoor with no end, and scenes from U.S and Russia projected on each side of the wall. And at the end of the intro is this bunch of faceless soldiers standing inbetween the two walls. VERY clever.
