IMAGE DESCRIPTION:  This image is basically a popsicle stick fort that could have been
	built by a little child in a room in his house.  On the wall you can see the window,
	looking outside, and a few family pictures up in their frames.  The child apparently
	realized that a popsicle stick fort looks best when it comes from real popsicles,
	and so he made sure that he ate plenty of them (even with a few extras lying on 
	the table).
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE IMAGE WAS CREATED:
	To create the image, I used Moray to lay out the basic design of the room, and I 
	also created a single popsicle stick, using a CSG with a cylinder and a rotational
	sweep (yeah, this is the hard way, I know.)  For the room, there are a few cubes for
	walls, with a CSG for the back wall to allow the window to be inserted.  Outside
	is just a simple sky sphere.  The pictures are scaled image maps, with CSG frames
	around them.  The window frame is not a CSG.  For realism, I made 4 wooden cubes 
	and placed them next to each other.  
	Once the first popsicle stick was created, with a simple wooden texture, I created
	5 while loops to create the actual fort.  Also, I used a checker pattern over the
	wooden texture, and inserted a random noise generator to create the stained effect
	on the sticks.  The flag, which is supposed to look like it was made out of some
	cheap cardoard like paper, was simply a very thin cube that had a texture applied
	to it.  The table, also is just a simple cube with 4 cylinders under it.
