VERY INTERESTING! FUN!!!

I just wanted to mess with your minds today........

READ OUT LOUD THE TEXT INSIDE THE TRIANGLE BELOW.

MORE THAN LIKELY YOU SAID, "A Bird In The Bush," and......
if this is what you said, than you failed to see that the word THE is repeated twice!
SORRY, Look again.

Next, Let's play with some words.
What Do You See?

In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil).

Now What Do You See?

You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look Again! Can you see why this paintingis called an optical illusion?

What Do You See Here?

This one is quite tricky!

The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.

LAST ONE.

What Do You See?

You probably read the word ME in brown, but......

when you look through ME you will see YOU!

Do You Need To Look Again?

TEST YOUR BRAIN

This is really cool.

ALZHEIMER'S EYE TEST

COUNT EVERY "F" IN THE FOLLOWING TEXT:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS ......

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY F's DID YOU COUNT?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- NO JOKE. READ IT AGAIN!

Really, Go Back And Try Again To Find The 6 F's Before You Scroll Down.

The reasoning behind is the brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.

Three is normal, four is quite rare.

IF ONLY....

IF MY BODY WERE A CAR

If my body were a car,
this is the time I would be thinking about
trading it in for a newer model.
I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my
finish and my paint is getting a little dull,
but that's not the worst of it.

My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close.

My traction is not as graceful as it once was.
I slip and slide and skid and bump into
things even in the best of weather.

My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.

It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.

My fuel rate burns inefficiently.

But here's the worst of it -- almost every time I sneeze,
cough or sputter.....

Either My Radiator = Leaks
OR My Exhaust BACKFIRES!
