Extracting 3D information from consecutive 2D video frames. Some work better than others. A few work really well, others suffer from interference effects, where lighting or movement alters between frames.

GIF vs. GIF - How would Jesus pronounce it?
"It's pronounced jiff!" He barks. "No, no, it's ghif!" She screams. Suddenly, Jesus Christ appears and says: "Calm down, my children. The Lord Father, God Almighty, has proclaimed that it should be pronounced 'Gehoyff'". The man and woman, stunned by the sudden appearance of the Christian messiah, stare at each other blankly. Jesus continues with a smile: "That's G, I, and F spoken separately, but very quickly, so they run into each other."
A moment of silence passes before the man raises his hand and points a finger at Jesus: "You're one mad old fucker, you know that?" Jesus winks, and replies sardonically: "Oh you're dead right, sir. I'm as mad as a bag of broken crucifixes!". He then quickly vanishes.
The couple stand dejected. The sudden appearance and disappearance of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, had made them realise the silliness of their argument. They stare into each others eyes, smile, and remember why they had fallen in love. They move to embrace, when the woman's expression drops. She senses something terrible is wrong, and looks down to see a glistening crimson stain running down the inside of her elastic-waist jeans. "Oh my God, the baby! THE BABY!"

Yuri's Night: Юрий Гагарин monument stereograms
Some quad-copter footage of the Юрий Гагарин (Yuri Gagarin) monument in Moscow appeared online, and provided an opportunity to create some stereograms. The movement in the footage wasn't completely ideal.

Moar Newz from The Moscow Times
The headline reads: "Russia Leads Forestry Destruction Ranking". Oh my god :-o Putin is chopping down all the trees, the bastard!
The body of the article then informs us that this is due to [wild] fires. (Maybe Putin started the fires though - am I right, am I right?)
What annoyed me most was the photograph used. It's a famous photograph, taken by John McColgan, titled "Elk Bath"*. Far from being a picture of a Russian forest fire, the image was taken at Bitterroot National Forest, Montana, USA, in the year 2000.
Just like the headline, the photograph was used for it's emotive power. A monstrous inferno, raging towards some awestruck deer - "Don't burn Bambi, Mr. Putin. Don't burn Bambi!"
The article also mentions that Brazil occupies the second place ranking in tree-cover depletion since 2001, and is a "fellow BRICS nation". I wasn't aware that tree cover was criteria for membership of BRICS. Never miss an opportunity to get a few jabs in with the little knives.
I have no disagreement that more should be done to prevent forest fires, in Russia, or anywhere else.
