Today's Daily Brain Teaser (May 22, 2014)

Passion



Awkward is your first,

But something you never forget.

Gross if you just ate Liverwurst,

But the best while watching a sunset.



The more of me you get,

The more of me you thirst.

I appear in Shakespeare's sonnets;

I make you so happy you could burst.

Cup of Water Optical Illusion

How are all of you doing out there today? I hope you’re all doing great. The weather is certainly improving, as it was raining quite a bit for a few days, but now it’s sunny again outside. That has me pretty excited, because I love going outside and enjoying nature. Believe it or not, today’s new optical illusion has to do with nature, as well.

Have you ever been out on a hike in the woods and you run out of water, or even worse, you forget to bring some with you? If so, you know how much it sucks. I’ve had this happen to me before and I’ve had to drink some spring water. Let me tell you, that’s some of the best water you’re ever going to taste. The person in this optical illusion fell victim to the scenario above, but they have an empty cup that they’re ready to fill up. Check it out below.

I dig this optical illusion, because it’s just a reminder that anyone can create their own optical illusions with just a little bit of creativity. You don’t need anything special. Just use your environment to your advantage and you’ll find tons of potential optical illusions all around you.

Want to check out a really cool optical illusion that’s going to mess with your mind? Check out this hybrid cat optical illusion.
