  "They scuttled for days and days till they came to a great
  forest, 'sclusively full of trees and bushes and stripy, speckly,
  patchy-blatchy shadows, and there they hid: and after another
  long time, what with standing half in the shade and half out
  of it, and what with the slippery-slidy shadows of the trees
  falling on them, the Giraffe grew blotchy, and the Zebra grew
  stripy, and the Eland and the Koodoo grew darker, with little
  wavy grey lines on their backs like bark on a tree trunk; and so,
  though you could hear them and smell them, you could very seldom
  see them, and then only when you knew precisely where to look."

With a tip o' the hat to Rudyard Kipling [1].

But I think that's enough off-topic, so I'll stop here :-)
