how brexit is panning out

How the sides are arguing in the Brexit votes and negotiations.
No solution is on the horizon.

expanding heart illusion

I'm a sucker for good illusions, and this one would be great if it could be printed onto a t-shirt correctly. A (supposedly)  expanding heart.

the chuckle brothers in funny incident shock

While l don't find The Chuckle Brothers funny in any way, shape, or form, this photograph of them meeting a fan always makes me laugh.

An outstanding optical illusion - look closely!

the crazy circle illusion

Another illusion that does my head in.
Don't believe your own brain!

optical illusions

I've just completed a course on Intensive Interaction, and as part of the course, we were shown various optical illusions, an art form l've always liked.
I'm not going to show any that we were shown, in case anyone does the course in the future, but here are two recent ones that took my fancy on Facebook.
It took me some time to spot the wall one, but once seen, it can never be unseen.

which way is the lady turning?

A classic optical illusion, that you might not even spot at first

the 3d t.rex template

Further to the 3D T.Rex from a couple of posts ago, here's the template to make your own.  It's all the work of Brusspup, and his Facebook page is here.
Now go out and find a huge printer and some hard card to print on - and get cracking!

amazing t.rex illusion

Even when l go to the end to see how this illusion is achieved, it still does my head in.  Amazing (and of course l want one!).

hidden babies everywhere

I think l am starting to crack up, as now everybody seems to be having babies, l'm seeing them everywhere.
Damn my 20/20 vision and my watery old eyes! (or maybe it's the lack of sleep).

einstein or monroe eye test

This worked for me. Turns out my vision is fine, Einstein was up close, and l did see Marilyn when l walked away from the computer.

more optical illusions

Optical illusions - l love them!

toodle pip

one of the best optical illusions l have seen

It's even better when it is enlarged (isn't everything?). Really trippy maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn.

Pass me my drugs.

a cow with three faces

It's like the old 'Is it a vase, or is it two faces' illusion. I hope this is natural and not just coloured in by somebody.

blue shaded picture pencil illusion

This is doing my head in.

unfortunate photograph angle

Oh dearie me.

coin art

How is this done?

It is hurting my brain thinking about it.

a chess illusion

I love it, but this sort of stuff does my head in.

the itch and the brain

There is a great article in The New Yorker about a woman who had an itch and scratched it so much that she went through to her brain (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/06/30/080630fa_fact_gawande).

There is also information about treatment, phantom limbs and sight. Interesting stuff, especially regarding the eyesight and the brains memory.

tom cruise height gain

How does he manage to do it? in his wedding photograph he is taller than his bride (forgotten her name and can't be bothered looking it up). When he is out and about with her, she is taller than him. It's magic!
