This is a perfect example of how not everything you see and interpret is true. Now let's not even consider things like the concept of god.

I love that picture. Although you seemed to find a badly compressed one.

Does this mean that when I think I see a hot chick, I'm not? Or is that just the beer?

Damn these "Left vs. Right" brain teasers!

This will drive you even more crazy:

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right-hand. Your foot will change directions and there is nothing you can do about it.

Well, I guess you could cut your foot off then spin it in a clockwise circle. Then you could easily draw a 6 in the air.

If you concentrate hard enough, look at your right foot while doing it, and do it fairly slowly, then it is possible (for me at least) to draw three or four sixes before my foot starts turning the other way.

I take affront to that test. I think mayo is better than soya sauce on pineapple. An I'd much rather have white chocolate and broccoli than white chocolate and caviar.

Seems it is so, if you open that image in your fav image editor and then cut one part and take close to the other, it seems you will see there is no difference in shade. Let me know if that works, I have no patience for this.

That's just wierd!

First I sampled the two colors- but pixel for pixel, that didn't match. But the paste thing did. I wanted it to be wrong...

foiled again!
