		<H2>Illusions - How can this be true?</H2>
		<P><A href="http://delicategeniusblog.com/?p=552">Michael's twirling dancer link</A> generated a lot of chatter, but this one seems even less fathomable to me</P> <P><A href="http://www.happinessstrategies.com/blog/2007/11/08/the-truth-may-be-out-there-but-it-sure-aint-in-here-2/">Michele's posted an image</A> as an example of your brain messing with your head (as it were). In this image, the squares marked A and B are the same colour!</P> <P><IMG width="616" height="480" src="http://www.happinessstrategies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/optical-illusions.jpg" /> </P> <P>Don't believe me? I didn't either, so I snipped a small part of the image and placed it in Paint.</P> <P><IMG border="0" src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/acoat/WindowsLiveWriter/IllusionsHowcanthisbetrue_C04B/image_2.png" alt="image" /> </P> <P>Still didn't look possible, so I drew a rectangle next to the image, split it in 2 and used the eye dropper tool to pick up the colour first from square A (and filled the left segment) and then from B (and filled the right segment).</P> <P><IMG width="355" height="185" border="0" src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/acoat/WindowsLiveWriter/IllusionsHowcanthisbetrue_C04B/image_3.png" alt="image" /> </P> <P>As my son would say - "Freaky!"</p> <DIV class="postfoot">
