That's just silly. After three weeks he would have starved to death.

It's Sam and Ralph, not Sam and George. Where's his sense of homage?

FWIW, I used some modern panoramic software to create a VR room using Escher's 'Mirrorball' drawing.

I think it's pretty neat to turn the painting 'inside out'.

I didn't care much for the FPP link, but I found some of the related videos on youtube to be interesting. Escher Line Rider, for instance.

Some of his more complicated images could have made for a more exciting or at least interesting scenario.
