Stumbled across this via What an Errant Knave Knows, and found it interesting. The active image turns. If you see it as turning clockwise, you're using the right side of your brain. If you see it turning counterclockwise, you're using your left side. It is possible to be able to see it turning both ways, but uncommon.
According to a study at Yale University, if you can see it both ways your IQ is above 160. Which makes you a genius. Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways.
I can only see her turn clockwise...
[UPDATE: Nevermind. It's all a load of crap.]
On a lighter note, here're three of a thousand and one images I'd like on t-shirts. Part of Randy Reddig's design project "I Like Your Face," via Shaderlab:
I realize that the title of this post is squandered on a non-political entry. To remedy this, I will suggest that everyone read "Sarah Palin vs. 'Sarah Palin'" by Mo Rocca. It's a smart, insightful article about how Tina Fey's characterization of Palin on SNL differs from all other political impersonations, in that Fey's "Sarah Palin" "may very well end up defining a major political figure before that figure has defined herself."
Also, Mo Rocca is incredibly attractive.
And now, I must play something, some music other than what I'm listening to in my head, wherein "Captain Jack" by Billy Joel is on repeat. While I love the Billy Joel, I'm not a huge fan of that song.
