Heh, I love this. It's been around for years but it still amuses me.

Note that not everyone can do it though... just most people. What's a little interesting about that is that we don't "read" in the same way: even if the outcome is the same, our brains are doing something different to get the same effect.

What Happened to the castel...



See what happens to the image if its turned upside down...

Actually its the reflection of the castel in water...

Interesting text and interesting affirmation Smile

You need to do some exercise to see this...

Just turn ur head upside down or just make your monitor upside down....



How was that?

Wow!! that is so freakin cool, I started reading it and I didn't realize immediately that all the letters were mixed up. Totally wigged me out for a second, haha. Great job! haha.

Haha, I know someone who did a whole science fair project on this. It's pretty cool. :3

I know somebody who did a science project on it, and got second place in a national competition. Maybe it's the same person. Razz

Yeah I have seen that multiple times, but i still find it awesome. I used to think I was able to read that because I spent a lot of time playing WoW (where people will occasionally mess up the spelling of words).

Now that I know the real reason, it seems pretty obvious. You notice, after a certain age, people stop spelling out words and just start reading them until they hit a word they don't know which they have to spell out again.

I actually thought the castle was a CGI with H20 shaders

The face was freaky yet cool

That's amazing illusion with the face. The emotion which goes trough your head can be completely changed by just turning the image upside-down. Really amazing!!!

LOVE is an illusion,
a mirage that you can see in your minds eye,
but can never quite reach.

you have to watch the show "The Human Body: Pushing the limits" on Discovery. It is on Sunday for at 9-11 p.m. for the next few weeks. It explains all these things and how the mind tricks you.

I have read this a couple times before aswell, and could read it wthout any problems at all. It's actually quite cool.

The face thing was pretty weird.
