Yeah, the original is a picture of a pipe. It is coloured paint that you look at.

What we are looking at is actually even less of a pipe (as far as thing that aren't pipes can be more or less pipe...y) as it is actually illuminated pixels on a screen portraying a scan or photo of a painting of a pipe.

that's why people would say there is no past because all you think you remember is actually just a memory. thus all past exists in the present big grin

Amazing that a picture of a pipe can cause such deep discussion.

Imagine if it was two pipes with one man smoking bothsmile
