A practical optical illusion for children and adults. Here are the instructions to build it.

How does it work? If we move around when viewing a solid object, our brain knows how the object we are looking at should behave. However the dragon gives us the wrong clues, because we mis-interpret what its shape is. We assume that the nose of the dragon is pointing out towards us, but in fact the dragon’s head is concave.

Blood, he's a vampire!

Hold your mouse over for the answer.

A man goes out drinking every night, returning to his home in the wee hours of every morning. No matter how much he drinks, he never gets a hangover. This drink is very well known, but is rarely consumed, served warm and taken straight from its source. The man is a sucker for a free drink, especially since he can’t live without it.

What is his favorite drink?

Enjoy!

It seems like a lopsided match-up, goose versus gorilla, but things aren’t always as they appear.

In a video uploaded to YouTube, which has already been viewed more than 39,000 times, a goose and a gorilla go head-to-head — and it’s the gorilla that ends up retreating.

After a really good stare-down, the goose then takes off towards the gorilla, flapping its wings in an aggressive manner. At that, the ape backpedaled feverishly, not wanting to test the bird’s limits.
