The original post (see here) on this site regarding the spinning girl above sparked much comment and conjecture. Most of the debate centred around whether she was spinning clockwise, anti clockwise or both ways at once, if she switched directions, if it was all real or a hoax, or even if counter clockwise was in fact the correct term!

Well the image is in fact not a hoax, it is a silhouette, and your brain can see her rotating in either direction depending on how it interprets the image at that time.

The picture below makes this easier to see by adding a few features to the girl thus removing the silhouette illusion. If you look closely you will find it's exactly the same image in all three frames!

Snow Globes With A Difference

January 20th 2010 04:48

Snow Globes, as the name would suggest traditionally contain Christmas, snow or ice themes. Santa Clause, snowmen and ice skaters are the most common elements.
However, with a little ingenuity a snow globe can be themed on just about anything as the pictures below demonstrate.

Dracula

Light Bulb Snow Globes

Dorothy & The Wizard of Oz

Naked Travel

January 2nd 2010 05:52

As reported in the Chicago Tribune, nudists often cop a lot of flack from the media. This article attempts to put the record straight on nakations.

Nudists are not perverts, and their resorts — at least the ones represented by AANR — are not seedy. They're not all retired, though many of them are. And they aren't exhibitionists looking for a date. In fact, you don't have to remove all of your clothes at a clothing-optional resort (that's why they call it clothing optional.)

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK

Going clothes-free can be an enlightening experience

IT'LL OPEN YOUR MIND

A clothing-optional vacation can be wholesome fun for the entire family.

IT'S A GOOD TIME

Clothing-optional clubs and resorts are under the same pressure as the rest of the hotel industry, and maybe even more, considering that interest in nude recreation appears to be on the wane. Put differently, you might pay less for your nakation than your vacation.

IT'S A DEAL

Strange Landscapes

November 11th 2009 01:50

Alien Landscapes on Earth

There are many features on our grand planet which due to numerous geological and environmental factors literally appear as if they are from another world. The WebEcoist has put together this list of bizarre landscapes and information about them. Read the full article here.
Click each image to open a larger version.

Giant’s Causeway, Ireland

Visitors have been puzzling over the bizarre hexagonal basalt columns at Giant’s Causeway along the Causeway Coast of Ireland since the area was first documented in 1693. The columns, which resemble ancient paving blocks, were originally part of a volcanic platueau 50 to 60 million years ago.

Dry Valleys, Antarctica

It seems strange enough that there are areas of Antarctica that get almost no snowfall – but the landscape itself of these ‘Dry Valleys’, located within Victoria Land west of McMurdo Sound, is like some kind of twisted, desolate film set. Vast stretches of sand, seal skeletons, rocks eerily sculpted by wind and steaming ice fumaroles (volcanic gas vents) make this place seem like it can’t possibly be real.

Unusual Caves - Cave of Crystals in Mexico

Cave of Crystals, Mexico

It looks like a microscopic image of crystals – until you see the tiny little man standing amongst them. Mexico’s Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of Crystals) is home to some of the world’s largest known natural crystals, measuring as much as 36 feet long. Geologist Juan Manuel García-Ruiz said the crystals have thrived for millenia in the very unusual environment of the cave, where the temperature stays around 136 degrees Fahrenheit (58 deg C) year-round.

Stone Forest, China

“If you have visited the Yunnan province of China without seeing the Stone Forest, you’ve wasted your time”. That old local saying hints at the grandeur of this attraction, a 400-square-kilometer stone wonderland where tall rock formations tower overhead like trees. The Stone Forest was formed over millennia as the sea, which once covered the area, gradually retreated, slowly eroding the bedrock.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Driving across the world’s largest salt flats – Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia – can feel as if you’re about to disappear into nothingness. The way the sunlight reflects off the vast expanse of salt makes the sky seem to blend into the landscape. Alien-like piles of salt piled into cone shapes by workers, waiting to be collected and processed, enhance the feeling that you’re in a very unique place. Salar de Uyuni contains about 10 billion tons of salt, with only about 25,000 tons extracted every year.

Louis Vuitton Branding With A Difference

November 4th 2009 01:35

Founded in 1854, Louis Vuitton is has become one of the most recognisable brands with its iconic LV monogram and logo known the world over as a symbol of prestige and wealth.
The logo was introduced early last century to prevent counterfeiting of the company's products. Ironically it's now the most counterfeited brand in fashion history.
Fake Louis Vuitton handbags and other fashion items are commonplace, however as these pictures show the famous LV logo has been used to brand just about anything

July 27th 2009 02:26

Normally graveyards and tombstones are no laughing matter. However, ever since Spike Milligan famously has his epitaph read "I told you I was ill", it has been OK to take some humour into the afterlife.
Following Spike's lead, here are some more headstones with a difference from everyday people and celebrities alike. These pictures sourced from trendhunter.com.

June 10th 2009 08:43

Last year New York took on an interesting initiative forcing fast food restaurants and mobile food vendors to display the calorie content of items on their menu. This idea may one day spread to other states and countries.

Let's take a look at the disclosed calorie content of some popular fast foods. For added interest, the calories per dollar value has been added in
