I'm not into computer graphics but the Utah teapot article [0] reminded me why I carry the kettle back into the kitchen by the handle while spinning it around to get a look at it at different angles.
I feel there should a warning attached to that link. If you're the type of person who loses several hours on Wikipedia/TvTropes, you should probably not visit that link if you've got something to do in the next couple of hours (or days).
Damm you, there goes my productivity level for the next few days.
