Odyssian Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 What was the deal with those X-Ray glasses that supposedly let you see the bones in your hand, or through people's clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssian Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 Oh and yes, I know they didn't work.. I've just always wondered what the deal was. Did they do anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phait Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I bought a pair when I was a kid. I knew they wouldn't work but what the hell, I bought that "smoke from fingertips" PASTE stuff that is just stringy/wispy paste that appears like smoke as you pull it between thumb and pointer finger... I also had the fake dog shit, I put that somewhere in a classroom but my teacher threw it away. Dammit X( But those glasses, I remember wearing them on the playground and some girls running around screaming I'm not sure how they do it, they don't work but kind of give the illusion if you look at your hand - it seems to create a blurred image of the hand that is scaled down and appears as if they're bones.

ani Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Just out of curiosity, why did you start a new thread for continuing an old topic; the topic is still alive and on the front page. No need for repeating... just keep the other thread living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssian Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 Thanks for the info, Phait. I've always been curious about these things. It still leaves me wondering though, about the blurred hand image you mentioned. I might have to spring for a pair one of these days. Hi Ani, sorry if this was a message board "no-no". I've often found it easier when others have started a new thread in cases like this. I feel it keeps the main thread more focused. Also, once I've read a loooooong thread I often do not go back to it. I just wanted to be sure anyone who knew about these glasses would see my inquiry.

Odyssian Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Ah-ha! That's it! Thanks Lee. I had tried a Google search on this, but never had any luck finding out the info. Thanks! Hey-ya Super 8, is your moniker in reference to the band called Super 8? I really like their CD. Too bad they never had another (not that I know of anyway).
