A very simple but effective optical illusion that anyone can do.
Anyone can perform this simple optical illusion with a glass tumbler, a sheet of paper and some water. We never realized that when objects are viewed through water in a glass, they are mirrored. You learn something new every day.
A pack of Killer whales chase a speed boat in this amazing video.
Rich and Laura Howard love the ocean, the two celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a diving trip to La Paz Mexico. Their dive was cut short when killer whales, aka orca whales, approached the area. As soon as the boat took off, the pod of about 17-20 killer whales began playing in the boat’s wake. The two captured this incredible footage.
These are all supposedly 100% real complaints from the Domino’s Pizza Australia Facebook page.
Enjoy!
Sometimes I forget that white people problems also happen outside of the US. Take Australia, for example. It seems that the Domino’s Pizza Facebook page is rife with instances of pizza issues that just don’t seem all that important. Though for the person typing the complaint, I am sure that it felt like the end of the world.

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
“House” for instance, is feminine: “la casa.” “Pencil,” however, is masculine: “el lapiz.” A student asked, “What gender is ‘computer’?” Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether “computer” should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men’s group decided that “computer” should definitely be of the feminine gender (“la computadora”) because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic. 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. (THIS GETS BETTER!) The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine (“el computador”) because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves. 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time, they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won. |
