I worked in a glass shop for a time. There were tons of framed mirrors around. I remember one that was placed just past a door between showroom and shop.

I stepped aside for the person coming through I don't know how many times before I finally got it through my head that I was stepping aside for myself!

I've read it is good fung shui to have a mirror in your dining room multiplying the food you put upon your table. Something about feeling abundant and rich and healthy, if I remember correctly.

They coat the mirrors with a UV coating we can't see, but birds can.

They should mount tiny surface-to-air missiles on it and stop 'em as they come in.

Didn't we all learn this from that Moonshine movie? The one where someone put a big mirror on some winding mountain road and a cop or shiner (don't recall which) came around the corner saw the on coming car - swerved - saw the other car swerve the same way, swerved harder, and went off the cliff.

(One of the last movies before the law about: all cars in movies must explode if their wheels leave the ground - went into effect.)
