Read this text aloud

The word THE is repeated twice…but did u notice???

Look at the little boy on the right side. He’s shown in two different colors, right ? Now gaze at the left plus sign for 20 seconds, then look at the right plus sign. The image is looking normal now ! Ain’t it incredible ? This phenomenon is called chromatic adaptation. Your eyes adjust themselves to the overload of colors. When you look at the right, your eyes are still filtering out the cyan and yellow. For a while.

In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It’s all very filosophical too, because it visualises the concept that good can’t exist whithout evil (or the absence of good is evil ).

Try to say the color of the words, instead of actually reading them. You will find it surprisingly difficult. The right half of your brain is trying to say the colors, the left half is trying to say the word itself.This is used by mountaineers to test if they’re concentration is ok.

ParticipantHah I didn’t catch the double “the”. I scan when I read *shrug* Heh, I get through things quickly, but often miss little bits like that unless I pay close attention.
I adored the Good/Evil and the little boy was just nifty *wrinkles her nose up* I’m such a freaking dork.
