Brain Teaser 3/30/2014

I may come in groups of twelve,

From farms or from a store,

The thing that made me,

Made many of me galore!



I could give birth to a creature,

Or be eaten by you,

For breakfast, lunch, or dinner,

Now here's your last clue.



I have walls and floors of white

A disco ball in the middle,

A very round one that's yellow,

And I am very little.



What am I?

Solution

I love it when readers submit optical illusions, so never be shy and chances are you’ll see the illusion you submitted on the site. Anyways, this is one of those chalk drawings that are especially awesome, because the people in the area can interact with the piece of art, which you will see when I post up the picture below. Trust me, it’s some pretty cool stuff. Are you ready to check it out? If so, you can scroll down right now.

Are you aching for some more optical illusions to check out? Well, I’m ultra-excited to link you to this Vincent Price in a Pile of Leaves optical illusion. Vincent Price was a very popular horror film actor back in the day and has starred in tons of classic horror films like House of Wax, The Pit and the Pendulum, etc… Now, let’s see if you can spot him in a pile of leaves.

The CIA secretly pumped funds into abstract-expressionists, such as Jackson Pollack and Mark Rothko, in an attempt to make popular American freedom and expression art in contrast to rigid Soviet art. As a testament to how insanely effective this was, only just a couple weeks ago Russia’s deputy prime minister laughed US sanctions off, saying he only appreciated 3 things about the US: Tupac, Ginsberg, Pollack.
