No wonder I don’t like jokes

The world funniest joke.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, “My friend is dead! What can I do?”. The operator says “Calm down. I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says “OK, now what?”

Facebook down


I don’t like this. Perhaps we will have to this one day with one of our systems but I hope to avoid it.

Best Visual Illusion of the Year

As you know I like Visual Illusions. Here is the best Visual Illusion of the Year.

Filling in the Afterimage after the Image
Rob van Lier & Mark Vergeer

To do:

Fixate your gaze on the center of one of the figures and stare at it for some time (20-30 seconds) while it cycles (without moving your eyes). After several iterations you’ll start noticing that the empty outlines fill in with ghostly redish or bluish colors! These illusory colors are called “afterimages”. Interestingly, the colors of the afterimages vary, which is puzzling because they come from the same original figure. Moreover, the shape of the outlines determines the filled-in color, which is complementary to the color of the same shape in the original figure.

Thanks for the Link Theo.
