  • Tim does not collect stamps as such. He might be a peglomaniac, but he is certainly no philatelist! However every so often a stamp comes along that is so unusual that Tim feels justified in adding it to his collection.

    To Tim, and the production team and everyone who helps in making these fine videos. I just want to say that no matter the length of the video, it feels like time flies by. What I mean by this is there are videos that range from 50 seconds to a few minutes and every time I am checking to see when the video will end because it feels like it drags on, but these videos never feel like the actual length of the video, it always feels shorter than it really is and I keep on wanting to learn more. Thank you Grand Illusions.

    My favorite in my collection was of the solar eclipse. It's heat sensitive and starts out as a black solar eclipse. Yet you can run your thumb across it and it turns to the moon. You can make your own eclipse slowly or all at once.

    I once had the pleasure of running across a very peculiar stamp. It seemed to be just a regular stamp, but when you licked it you would begin to see wonderful trails of fire in the air and hear the brightness of colors. Oh the fun I had with that stamp must've lasted for hours! I'd say that stamp gave me quite a licking, heh.

    5:48 I manege to see... this is the same bird as blue ones. I actually like stereograms. They use to print them on copybooks when I was at school. Everybody talked about how great they are, but I seems just wasn't able to focus right. One day I "meditate" on one of those (with very low expectations) and suddenly saw a dog... jumped on my chair.

    Does anyone know if it's possible?
