As Impossible as it Gets

I recently came up with an idea for the Origami Construction System Challenge on the English forum. A while back, I saw an impossible triangle in an I Spy book, and the image stuck with me ever since. Now, I ended up folding that impossible tringle from a square. Here's what I ended up with for a CP, using the idea of Thoki Yenn's Magic Rings:

That CP folds into this model:

You can also make it look a bit better by folding it out of a rectangle. I folded this out of a 8.5:11 piece of paper:

Can't figure it out? I'll give you a hint: It all matters what angle you look at it.
