The Longest Thread Ever...

This is an amazing illusion!!!

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dots, the dots will remain only one color, pink.



However if you stare at the black "+" in the center,
the "moving dot" changes to green.

Next, concentrate on the black "+" in the center of the picture.

After a short time (maybe a minute), all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will see only a single green dot orbiting around the plus sign.

It's amazing how the brain works. There really is no green dot, and the pink ones don't really disappear.

This should be proof enough, we don't always see what we think we see.

Can you imagine some guy going 120 mph on the interstate with these balloons trailing about a few yards behind him?
Step 1. Tie balloons to car.
Step 2. Drive like a maniac....
Step 3. Watch people freak out!!!!



I don't care who you are....that's freaky.

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."

Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, Ma'am", he said, "I've come to..."

"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."

"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"

"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat".

After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"

"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there."

"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"

"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."

"My, that's a lot!", gasped Mrs. Smith.

"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."

"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.

The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.

"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.

"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with."

"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look"

"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."

Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?"

"It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."

"Tripod?"

"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long."

Mrs. Smith fainted

John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
*
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
*
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
*
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
*
Now it gets really weird
*
Lincoln 'so secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
*
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
*
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
*
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939
*
both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
*
Now hang on to your seat
*
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'
*
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in theater.
*
*Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
*
*And here's the kicker...
*
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
a week before Kennedy was shot, and he was with Marilyn Monroe.
*
*Creepy huh?

Subject: Stretch your brain


This is not a test - just a phenomenon. All readings are explained.
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, then 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 use 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 painting is 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. The second one is amazing so please read all the way though.



ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST
Count every ' F ' in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.

The reasoning behind is further down.
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.

Send this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy.!
And keep them occupied
For several minutes..!

After going through multiple virus attacks, losing a hard drive, fighting off hackers, upgrading all my software, installing firewalls, being threatened with being cut-off by my email provider, and a host of other problems...

I have finally fixed my computer... and NOW it works exactly the way I want it to!

Researchers estimated that heart disease, strokes and diabetes would cost India more than £100 billion in lost productivity over the next 10 years.

Staff in call centres dealing with customers in Britain say they have been shocked at the ferocity of the verbal attacks they encounter.

Nidhi Aggarwal, 24, said she had never heard some of the insulting language used - including the word "Paki" as a term of abuse - before she began taking orders for a British catalogue company, which routes its customers’ calls to a Bangalore call centre. […]

Miss Aggarwal, an English graduate, said she planned to quit, tired of wishing customers a good morning only to hear: "Oh, I’m through to India am I? Put me through to someone who can understand English, you ______ cow."
