Human Parrot Optical Illusion

Hello everyone, and welcome to Tuesday, also known as the last day of March for 2015. So, what are you all doing today? Well we are sitting in the office here thinking about the beautiful things in this world, and one of us found this lovely picture of a parrot. So, we made today’s optical illusion all about this parrot, and really think it’s pretty cool. Do you all notice that this parrot isn’t really a parrot at all but a person that is painted to look like one? You have to admit, the illusion is actually quite stunning, and we thought you all would appreciate it.

Ready to see something a little creepier involving some graduates but is also an optical illusion? Take a look at this image, and what is the first thing you notice about it? Do you all see the skull in the middle of the image? Or the fact that the grads throwing their caps seems to create the skull? We find this image really creepy because its like these kids are so happy about the future, but then its like death is their ultimate future for everyone no matter what. Well, we know today is only Tuesday, but you’re doing great, and the week is just getting started!

The Dominican Republic, led by dictator Rafael Trujillo, offered to accept between 50,000 and 100,000 Jewish refugees in 1938. Only 645 made it and upon arrival, every new Jewish settler was given 80 acres of land, 10 cows, a mule and a horse. Trujillo’s generosity probably stemmed mainly from his eagerness to have the Western nations overlook his brutal massacre of 25,000 Haitians in 1937 and his desire to “whiten” the people of his country, believing that the young European men would marry Dominican women and produce light-skinned offspring.

Brain Teaser 3/30/2015

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?
