Jack O’ Lanterns

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

A Jack O’ Lantern is usually a carved pumpkin or turnip used as a decoration during Halloween. 

An old Irish legend tells of Jack, who was so wicked that he couldn’t enter heaven and hell after he died. He carved a turnip (his favorite food) and used it as a container for an ember that never goes out, as a makeshift lantern, and proceeded with his eternal quest for a resting place.

 

Right vs. Left Brain

Right Brain: It’s red, dagnabit, reeeed!

Left Brain: Can’t you read, mate? It says blue!

Too Much Internet

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Sometimes, I think that I’m too hooked on the Internet, which is funny, because I actually was, am, an outdoors person. I like nature, being surrounded by trees. I love hiking. The thing is, I haven’t done so for the longest time. Instead, my tours are limited to, well, the cyberspace.

 

Maybe I should go and literally stop and smell the roses.

Boxes A and B actually are the same shade of gray. Amazing isn’t it?

 

If you don’t believe me, check the diagram below:

 

I actually thought A was darker than B. Oh well. I guess I got fooled by this.

Cool Optical Illusion

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I got so amused with the dancing lady optical illusion that I researched hard (Google search result, 0.12 seconds), and I found this cool one.

 

The question is, do boxes A and B have the same color? Look at it very carefully before answering!

 

What’s your guess?:D I’ll be posting the answer tomorrow, so think about this, alright? Do let me know, and give your justification.:p
