I hope this isn't old hat because it is certainly new for me.  I discovered
today that if you look at a Macintosh Screen (or an SVGA - VGA will probably
work)while chewing a hard pretzel you observe a flicker on the screen that
would seem to be associated with the refreshing rate.  Some people I showed
this to also got a real flash of light when they took their fist and bumped
the top of their head.  Got to be careful with that one in school.  Could
this be related to frequencies given off by the jaw muscles when
contracting?  Is it related to the elasticity of the eye?  It doesn't work
with composite monitors.  What is the difference in the refresh rate?  Have
fun chewing the pretzels.  I would appreciate any feedback.  THANKS

PS If you take the first bite back on the molars it seems to work best!
