The Cold Thing



I'm called a man,

But I'll never have a wife.

I was given a body,

But not given life.

They made me a mouth,

But I wasn't given breath.

Water gives body,

And sun gives me death.

What am I?

Invisible Hand Optical Illusion

Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday! Happy Hump Day everyone and congratulations to making it to the middle point of the week. You all are doing great, and you have your second wind by now so you can get through the rest of the week. However, its still tough to get up today and we certainly don’t blame you for dragging a bit. So, we have an amazing optical illusion that is sure to blow all of your minds today. Take a look at the invisible hand that is holding up this person. Is it really an invisible hand or do you think this picture was created another way?

Ready for a hidden animal in a crashing wave? Check out this beach wave, and do you all see that there is a hidden animal in it? There is a hidden polar bear in the wave, and it is hard to tell whether this is a real photo, something photoshopped, or just a trick of the eye! Can you all see the polar bear? Surfing can be a lot of fun, and perhaps, that is why there may be a polar bear hitting the waves too. We know its only Wednesday, but you all are doing great and you are almost done with the work week.
