• Deep Thoughts and Silliness by Bob O'Hara

    Just what it says on the tin

    • Wow, another cool optical illusion.

      Taken (wholesale!) from Random Knowledge

      Concentrate on the four small dots in the middle of the picture for 30 – 40 secs. Then look at any smooth single coloured surface near you (wall, paper,…). You will see a circle of light developing. Now blink your eyes a couple of times and you will see an image emerging. Do you recognize the image?

      Click through to the original site if you want some spare white-space on your screen (and also to give the guy hits).

      Can anyone explain to me how it works?

          Quite, I’m expecting a Jehovah any minute now but not in The Bibical sense, obviously (off too cook muchos portions of fried rice).

          (But before I do and whilst remaining completely off topic, having just recently uploaded many pics onto my new porto. gizmo what the HELL was I thinking when I CREATED this shot of BEAST???)

          I remember now.

          I don’t know exactly how it works, but I think it’s something to do with the image “burning” itself onto your retina, which retains an inverted “negative” version of the image for a few seconds after you finally look away from it. I think if the original image is in colour, the negative image is in the “opposite” colour.

          @ Richard W. – Ha ha, I was just going to say that I saw the image in a tortilla this morning.

          Or was it a grilled cheese sandwich?

          I live in the Land of Pareidolia. Yes, I know.

          I did just get an email through Nature Network saying “Greetings in Jesus name” and stating an intent to “donate the sum of(Euros4.500 000) Four million Five hundred thousand Euros, to your church”.

          Targeted marketing FAIL! I don’t think I’ll be contacting that attorney in Côte d’Ivoire, as requested.
