droste effect

The droste effect is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. And while the appearance may be recursive, the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever, as fractals can sometimes do; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size.

sabrage

A sabrage is a technique for opening a champagne bottle with a saber, used for ceremonial occasions. The wielder slides the saber along the body of the bottle to break the top of the neck away, leaving the neck of the bottle open and ready to pour. The force of the blunt side of the blade hitting the lip breaks the glass to separate the collar from the neck of the bottle. One does not use the sharp side of the blade. The cork and collar remain together after separating from the neck.

When it comes to using the sabrage technique, it’s not sharpness or size of the blade that matters, but more importantly, it is the strength of the impact.
