or not. A cool existential prank.

An old man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light. The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya got there, sonny?" The doctor replies, "A Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!" "That's a lot of money," says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?" "Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the doctor proudly. The Moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?" "No problem," replies the doctor. So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll stick with my Moped!" Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 160 mph. Suddenly, he notices a d...

Here's one for Marbella's research... wanna get rid of those dust mites under the covers? Don't Make Your Bed ! Just another one of those findings that seem to keep coming up about what some of us do naturally. :-) We had a German neighbor once. She used to mow her lawn with one of those cool little mowers that power their blades totally from the motion of the wheels. She mowed about 3 times a week. And it used to drive her batty that whenever I mowed the lawn, I would always leave a patch of it wild. At first she thought maybe there were rocks or something there, but what really set her off was when she noticed the location of the wild patch would change with each mowing. I finally had to explain it to her: "You're German, I'm Irish; you see, the Irish believe that you should always leave areas for the wild things in your life." I don't know if she bought it or not, but she didn't bug me about it after that. Of course, the Irish are also known for...

This is a fascinating documentary, showing some amazing historical threads that most people are unaware of behind our most recent conflicts of ideologies with the middle east and with the erosion of individual freedom in america. It's not a conspiracy film and it is solidly grounded. Highly recommended (a bit long though, but it keeps you riveted if you set away some time to learn about this. It *will* make you think and will give you some facts that 98% of the people with strong opinions on these issues have no clue about.) Part 2 is here , for you over-achievers.

So, play this, then hit replay and hear the notes continue to climb. Try hitting replay again. Note that you are hearing the SAME sounds :-) AMAZING Audio Illusion - Funny video clips are a click away

Watch this and listen to what he is saying, then close your eyes and listen to what he saying; is it different? :-)

OK, I thought this was a trick. But now I'm not so sure. She would be spinning one way and then she'd spin the other way. I had to get bright-eyes too look at it exactly the same time I did ---and we saw it going different directions. WTF? Which way is she spinning in the picture? Clock-wise or Counter-clockwise? Click on the picture to see the animated version. Supposedly if you see her going counter-clockwise you are left brained and clockwise you are right brained. I guess if she keeps changing directions you are just MESSED UP! Although the same thing happened to bright-eyes, so it may be contagious.
