Optical Illusions Part 3

Wow- it has been some time since I have posted some optical illusions!!! These ones are pretty sweet too:) I got them from Hannah Gardner. Check 'em out!

This is not a test - just a phenomenon. All readings are explained.
Read out loud the text inside the triangle to the right.

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

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!

Next:
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...

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 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.

O lny srmat poelpe can raed this.
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a word are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is that the first and last ltteer be in the rgh it pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the word as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! If you can raed this psas it on !!

Hope you enjoyed it!!!

Very Awesome Video

I know it has been awhile- life is crazy sometimes. Anyway my Grandma sent me this sweet video of ballet dancers- the cool thing is one has no arm and the other has no leg- but it is still a beautiful dance!!! You got to watch!!!

Veteran's Day

Yesterday was Veterans Day. Most of you had school off because of it. I hope you got a chance to thank a Veteran that day, for giving us the freedom we have. Freedom isn't free and in this politically charged atmosphere too often people seem down on the USA. I don't even mean people in other countries, I'm talking about Americans- where did our national pride go? Hopefully on this day that we remember those who served and fought we can remember that this nation is great because of our many freedoms. The freedoms that allow us to criticize, allow us to worship our God, allow us to live in peace.

My aunt sent me this cool audio clip and I found the youtube video to match. A man tells the story of where the National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, comes from.
Enjoy.
Side note- at the end of the video is a push for some guy running for president. Now I am not endorsing him, I don't even know who he is so don't get all in a huff if you don't like him or his party (voting is important and I will vote but I'm not voting now so I don't know who any of the people are really). The rest of the video is about history- which is vital knowledge, a lot of complaints and problems in this country- if people would only look at history I think they would be more patient. Anyway- sorry about the last part, I don't know how to take it out so you'll just have to deal with it.

Game On!

I was just checking my blog and I realized that it has been a long time since I posted a game!!! You all must have absolutely nothing else to do online since there aren't any new games on my blog! So I decided to add one today. Truthfully it is taking awhile for me to decide which one. You know I play them all first because you never know what might show up on the most innocent seeming games- so I have to play a lot of games- to make sure they are alright- hey, it's still work! It's "research" for my blog:)



Having several to choose from I finally decided on "Escape:The Phonebooth." It is pretty sweet- done by the same people who did "Escape:The Car." So if you like escape games- one of my favorites, you'll enjoy this! Click on everything and figure out how to use what you find to escape the phonebooth!!! Let me know what you think and if you need any helpful hints (I think there are in-game hints as well)

Happy Halloween

I love dressing up for Halloween- it is so fun to get to pretend:) I haven't totally decided what I am going to be tonight- last year we had Tournament Series on Halloween and I dressed up as Belle from Beauty and the beast- that was cool. Right now at work I am dressed up like a Marine, but I might change for tonight- who knows. Well I wanted to leave you with this sweet story- enjoy!

Christians are like Pumpkins

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes youin, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches youdeep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds ofdoubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and putsHis light inside you to shine for all the world to see.This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin. I liked this enough to pass it along to all the pumpkins in my patch.

Sharks!

So I got to go to Maui with my hubby 2 weeks ago. We had the most incredible time! It was a business type trip so we were witha large group of people all in the same business (heating and air conditioning). Anyway, while we were there a good chunk of the beach- at least the stretch from Lahina to Napili (which included where we were staying in Ka'anapaali) was closed because of sharks! And we saw them- in fact I have a video. . . (and yes I took the above picture)

Travis Time:)

I know you have all been waiting for the next installment of Silly Pictures of Travis!!!! Now is that time!!! So here is our fearless leader cooking for Beach TNL:)
