Man what a blast from the past. I haven’t seen these in idk how long but my mom had these when I was growing up. I don’t even remember the stories, but those illustrations were awesome and are among some of my earliest memories of being unnerved by an art style (along with the legendary Scary Stories and the Wizard of Oz series from 1900 with the W.W.

Im sure some people are attention seeking to some degree but most people i know who go on neighborhood runs are just out doing their own thing and if anything are overly self conscious about showing off their bodies. I overheat incredibly quickly when I go for runs, and I frequently have to peel off my top layer and I’m still soaked. I can’t imagine I’m the only one. And I absolutely hate having any attention drawn to myself. Judgment from other people when I’m just out trying to get in a nice run outdoors sucks.

Not an expert but I think you’re right. The Wikipedia page OP linked describes the phenomenon this way:

Fata Morgana mirages also show alternating compressed and stretched zones.
They include a pretty good example with a container ship:
Scientology + Klingons… Isn’t that just Battlefield Earth?
I’m absolutely gaping with excitement for these games!
It’s still a really cool piece of art! Their other works are really fascinating and well-executed too - I especially like the kiwi with the hairy butthole and the… uh… scrotumfruit?
Not trying to downplay how cool the piece is, but the artists website says it’s acrylic urethane with real Daikon leaves:

Years ago my GF declared that if she were ever going to be in a porn, her nom de poon would be Teen LaQueefa. I settled on Kenny Lingus.
We have a local legend who plays bagpipes while riding a unicycle
Noticed the Kaua’i 'o’o on the list. This clip has always stuck with me:
Thank you so much for this. I think “Waiting for Edward” with Dennis Leary is still my favorite of all time
It was always goofy. Pretty early on my partner got heavy into WoW while I got heavy into EQ2, and the “cartoony” art style and vibe of WoW was part of what made it unique.
