Earlier, kaige_of_ct posted this, and the more I look at it, the more fun it is. It's an optical illusion featuring a silhouette of a woman spinning in circles, and the question is, which way is she spinning

Being a person who is legally blind in one eye (left), I thought I might get locked into one direction on this, but I was easily able to switch directions by concentrating on the foot on the ground.

Someone told me that it's not one eye for each brain hemisphere, but rather a part of each eye for each hemisphere. So you have a left and right visual field in each eye.

It doesn't work to switch her direction by covering one eye, either.

me above here, too.

For a second, just a second, I saw her spinning counter-clockwise. But then she went back to clockwise.

Yeah, like THAT totally surprises you. What's funny is that I've been grading midterm papers for, like, ten days. You'd think my analytical brain would be at least present. Maybe it's just worn out or bored to death.

If I ever balance my checkbook again, I'll try then.

I'm now also growing terribly alarmed that you never received the enormous package I sent you this summer. I may have to commit ritual seppuku if you didn't. It's insured, but basically irreplaceable.
